[DOC] [TLE] Measurement: Discovering formulas for area | Think Math! [PAR] A rectangle that is twice the height of would have twice its area, so the area ... 
here measures one-half length-unit high by five and one-half length-units wide. 
.... The two parallel sides are the bases, and height, as always, is the ... times its 
base (sum of the bases of the trapezoid), so its area is half-height x (base1 + 
base2). [DOC] [TLE] Area of a Trapezoid - Math Goodies [PAR] 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 ... In Examples 1 and 3 
below, the height is a side of the trapezoid since it is perpendicular to the base. [DOC] [TLE] Perimeter and Area - Developmental Math Topic Text [PAR] If the shape is a polygon, then you can add up all the lengths of the sides to find 
the ... Notice that the perimeter of a rectangle always has two pairs of equal 
length sides. .... to find its area, it is important to identify a base and its 
corresponding height, ... length of the two parallel bases and multiply that length 
by the height: . [DOC] [TLE] geometry - Trapezoid area proof by dividing it into two triangles ... [PAR] Jan 13, 2013 ... They drew this diagram and named the sides of it as a, b, c and d. ... And I have 
seen an actual proof of the area of a trapezoid like this on a ... I know that the 
area of a triangle is base times the height divided by ... It is essentially half of the 
area of the rectangle. ... Is the area of GBH equal to the area of AGD? [DOC] [TLE] Areas of Trapezoids | Wyzant Resources [PAR] ... is a quadrilateral defined by one pair of opposite sides that run parallel to each 
other. These sides are called bases, whereas the opposite sides that intersect (if 
... in finding the area of trapezoids: we require the measure of both of its bases. ... 
The area of a trapezoid is equal to one half the height multiplied by the sum of... [DOC] [TLE] Measuring Area - Extranet - University of Melbourne [PAR] Can you see another way to divide this object and calculate its area? Area of a 
triangle = 1/2 x (b x h) where b is length of base and h is the height measured ... 
We know the area of a square can be found by multiplying the length of 2 sides (l)
. ... Area of a trapezium = 1/2 x (a + b) x h = half sum of parallel side lengths x... [DOC] [TLE] Pythagorean Theorem and its many proofs [PAR] It is known that the Pythagorean Theorem is Equivalent to Parallel Postulate. ... Its 
area therefore equals half that of square on the side AC. ... The key now is the 
formula for the area of a trapezoid - half sum of the bases times the altitude - (a + 
b)/2(a ..... Of course, ADE is a triangle on base DE with height AB, so of area cc/2
. [DOC] [TLE] Carpentry Math - Learn the basic math formulas used in carpentry [PAR] The square of one side of a right triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse 
minus the square of the other side. ... Here's how it works - if one side of a right-
triangle is three feet and the other side is four feet and the hypotenuse ... To 
calculate area of a trapezoid, multiply its height by one-half the sum of the 
parallel sides. [DOC] [TLE] SparkNotes: GRE: Geometry [PAR] The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. ... Since the sum 
of the angles of a triangle equals 180, you can set up an equation: .... the height 
is the width, just multiply the length by the width to get the area of a rectangle. ... 
As if you've never seen one of these in your life, here's what a square looks

Question: Seen here, its area equals half the sum of the parallel sides multiplied by the height
Answer: Trapezoid
