Area and Perimeter of Triangles, Parallelograms, and Trapezoids Worksheets

How to Find Area and Perimeter of Triangle, Parallelogram, and Trapezoid? The perimeter of a shape is the length of its boundary, usually measured in the same units as that of length. Perimeter is measured in m, cm, mm. The area is the measurement of the area enclosed by the plane region. Area is measured in square units Area and Perimeter of the Triangle - For a triangle, we can find the perimeter by adding the lengths of its three sides. P = (a + b + c). Where a, b, and c are the three sides of a triangle. Area of the triangle is the space occupied by the shape. Area of the triangle is half the area of the rectangle. A = 1/2 (l x w). Where l is the length of the sides, and w is the width of the triangle. Area and Perimeter of Parallelogram - A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two parallel opposite sides. In a parallelogram, the two opposite sides and the angles are congruent, while the consecutive angles are supplementary. To find the area of a parallelogram, we have the formula: A = b x h. Where b is the base length, and h is the height. The perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of its all four sides. P = a + b + c + d. Where a, b, c, and d are the four sides of the parallelogram. Area and Perimeter of Trapezoid - A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. The non-parallel sides of the trapezoid are known as the legs, and the parallel sides are known as the bases. The area of the trapezoid is calculated by the formula: A = 1/2 (b 1 + b 2 ) x h. Where b1 and b2 are the bases, and h is the height of the trapezoid. The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of all four sides. P = a + b + c + d. Where a, b, c, and d are the four sides of the trapezoid.

Area of a Trapezoid Calculator

What is a trapezoid, how do i find the area of a trapezoid, how do i find the perimeter of a trapezoid, using the area of trapezoid calculator: an example.

If you ever had problems with remembering the formulas in geometry class, this area of a trapezoid calculator is bound to help you. In just a few simple steps, you will be able to find the area of a trapezoid and determine all of its other properties, such as side lengths of internal angles. So, if you are troubled by questions like "how to find the perimeter of a trapezoid", look no further – simply keep reading to find out!

You can also check out our circumference calculator to analyze the geometry of a circle in more detail or our circle formula calculator to learn more about the equations behind that geometry.

A trapezoid is a 4-sided geometrical shape with two sides parallel to each other. These two sides ( a and b in the diagram) are called the bases of the trapezoid. The other two sides ( c and d ) are called legs. h is the height of the trapezoid.

All internal angles of a trapezoid sum to give 360°. Additionally, the angles on the same side of a leg are called adjacent and always sum up to 180°:

α + β = 180°

γ + δ = 180°

To find the area of a trapezoid ( A ), follow these steps:

• Find the length of each base ( a and b ).
• Find the trapezoid's height ( h ).
• Substitute these values into the trapezoid area formula: A = (a + b) × h / 2 .

You can notice that for a trapezoid with a = b (and hence c = d = h), the formula gets simplified to A = a × h , which is exactly the formula for the area of a rectangle.

To quickly find the perimeter of a trapezoid, follow these steps:

• Find the length of all sides of the trapezoid ( a , b , c , and d ).
• Add them together to get the perimeter of the trapezoid: P = a + b + c + d .
• That's it! It is that simple.

Or you can alternatively use the area of a trapezoid calculator, which will automatically find the area and perimeter of the trapezoid for you.

Let's assume that you want to calculate the area of a certain trapezoid. All the data given is:

Calculate the remaining internal angles. As α + β = 180° , β = 180° - 30 ° = 150° .

Similarly, as γ + δ = 180° , δ = 180° - 125° = 55° .

Find the lengths of the legs of the trapezoid, using the formula for the sine of an angle:

sin 30° = h / c

sin 55° = h / d

c = 6 / sin 30° = 12 cm

d = 6 / sin 55° = 7.325 cm

Subtract the values of a, c, and d from the trapezoid perimeter to find the length of the second base:

b = P - a - c - d = 25 - 4 - 12 - 7.325 = 1.675 cm

Finally, apply the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

A = (a + b) × h / 2 = (4 + 1.675) × 6 / 2 = 17.026 cm²

Make sure to take a quick look at the hexagon calculator , too!

How is a trapezoid different from other quadrilaterals?

Trapezoids differentiate themselves from other quadrilaterals because they have at least one pair of parallel sides . This means that every parallelogram (so, in particular, every rectangle) is a trapezoid, but not the other way round.

What is the area of a trapezoid with height 5 meter and bases 8 meter and 1 meter?

The area of this trapezoid is 22.5 meters squared . To get the result, we use the area of a trapezoid formula: A = (a + b) × h / 2 and place a = 8 m , b = 1 m , and h = 5 m inside it.
