What is a trapezoid?

A trapezoid, also known as a trapezium, is a flat closed shape having 4 straight sides, with one pair of parallel sides.

The parallel sides of a trapezium are known as the bases, and its non-parallel sides are called legs. A trapezium can also have parallel legs. The parallel sides can be horizontal, vertical or slanting.

The area of the trapezoid is given by the formula:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times ({a+b})\times H$

From the given figure

a=6 ft

b= 2+2+6=10 ft

H= 6 ft

By putting the values in the formula we get:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (6+10)\times 6=48\ square \ feet$

Hence the area of the trapezoid will be A= 48 square feet.
