Trapezoid Square Meter Calculator
Understanding the area of a trapezoid is crucial in architecture, construction, and engineering. Our trapezoid square meter calculator simplifies this process, ensuring accurate measurements.
- Enter the lengths of the two bases (A and B) and the height of the trapezoid.
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button.
- View the results and chart below the calculator.
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula:
A = (1/2) * (A + B) * h
where A and B are the lengths of the two bases, and h is the height.
| Base A | Base B | Height | Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 10 | 3 | 22.5 |
| 5 | 10 | 6 | 45 |
- Always measure the bases and height accurately for precise results.
- Consider using our calculator for irregular shapes by dividing them into trapezoids.
What if one of the bases is zero?
If one of the bases is zero, the trapezoid becomes a triangle. Use our triangle area calculator instead.
