"A trapezoid is a 4-sided figure with one pair of parallel sides. To find the area of a trapezoid, take the sum of its bases, multiply the sum by the height of the trapezoid, and then divide the result by 2." The height is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel bases.
Area (trapezoid) = 1/2 h (b1 + b2) , where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides, and h is the perpendicular distance between them.
