Question 270494: When finding the area for a trapezoid I am using the formula
A=.5(A+B)h
How do I figure out the formula for finding B? Thank you! Answer by Greenfinch(383) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slight problem. The A at the front is the area , but the A in the brackets is one of the lengths on the parallel sides.
So AREA = 0.5(a + b)h may make is easier to understand
a and b are the two lengths of the sides
