Area of a trapezoid calculator

The area of a trapezoid calculator will help you calculate the surface of a trapezoid using the base and height.

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

To calculate the area of your trapezoid, you add base 1 to base 2 and then multiply this by the height and divide by 2.

Area = ½ × (base 1 + base 2) × height

Example: You want to know what the area of a trapezoid with a height of 1.5 meter and a base of 2 and 3 meters is, the formula would look like this: ½ × (2 + 3) × 1.5 = 3.75 m2
