Course 2 9-4 Area of Triangles and Trapezoids The two parallel sides of a trapezoid are its bases, b 1 and b 2. The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the bases. h b1b1 b2b2
11
Course 2 9-4 Area of Triangles and Trapezoids AREA OF A TRAPEZOID h b1b1 A = 1212 h(b 1 + b 2 ) The area of a trapezoid is half its height multiplied by the sum of its two bases. b2b2 In the term b 1, the number 1 is called a subscript. It is read as “b-one” or “b sub-one.” Reading Math
