1Area of Trapezoids
2Strategy Model — step by step
  1. A trapezoid is a four-sided shape with one pair of parallel bases
  2. Add the two bases together: (b1 + b2)
  3. Multiply by the perpendicular height, then take half
3Mathematical Word Bank
  • Area of Trapezoids (Área de trapecios) — The space inside a trapezoid. Formula: A = 1/2(b₁ + b₂)h.
  • Trapezoid (Trapecio) — A four-sided shape with just one pair of parallel sides.
  • Parallel (Paralelas) — Two lines or sides that stay the same distance apart and never meet.
  • Base 1 (b1) (Base 1 (b1)) — One of the two parallel sides of a trapezoid.
  • Base 2 (b2) (Base 2 (b2)) — The other parallel side of a trapezoid.
  • Height (Altura) — The straight-up distance between the two parallel sides.
4Watch out
  • A common mistake in Area of Trapezoids is forgetting the ½ in A = ½ × (b1 + b2) × h. After adding the bases and multiplying by the height, students stop there instead of taking half — for example, with bases 6 ft and 10 ft and a height of 4 ft, they compute (6 + 10) × 4 = 64 sq ft instead of taking half to get the correct 32 sq ft. That unhalved number is really the area of the parallelogram made from two trapezoids, not the area of one trapezoid. Before you submit, always ask: "Did I take half of my last answer?"
