Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online trapezoid calculator.
Enter both parallel bases and the height. The tool applies the average of the bases times the
height and shows the answer at once.
Area equals the average of the two parallel bases multiplied by the height, written as (a +
b) / 2 x h.
Enter the two bases and the two legs, or leave the leg boxes empty and the tool assumes an
isosceles shape and works them out.
The median is the segment halfway between the two bases. Its length is the average of the
bases, that is (a + b) / 2.
Yes. Type both leg lengths yourself and the perimeter uses your values, so right and scalene
trapezoids work too.
