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.
