Trapezoid formulas

Area

(Base a + Base b) × Height ÷ 2

Perimeter

a + b + c + d

Midline

(Base a + Base b) ÷ 2

Reference: The two bases of a trapezoid are parallel. The height is the perpendicular distance between those bases, not the length of either slanted leg.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

Add the two parallel bases, divide the sum by two, and multiply by the perpendicular height.

What is the midline of a trapezoid?

The midline is the segment joining the midpoints of the two legs. Its length equals the average of the two bases.

Do I need both leg lengths?

You only need the bases and height for area. Both leg lengths are needed when calculating the full perimeter.
