anonymous · Answer

do you know the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid???

anonymous · Answer

Not anymore...bad memory mixed with learning disorder for math and science

anonymous · Answer

ok...so this is it...
$$A = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(a + b)h$$
A=Area of the trapezoid
a=the length of one of the parallel sides
b=the length of the other parallel side
h=height of the trapezoid
