@void nexus

#

You could use the formulas 1/2(b1 + b2)(h)

#

Or to understand you could just derive then

#

Like cut trapezoid into two triangles and one rectangle

#

And use the triangle and recantangle formula, for triangle make height as height

#

You understood?

#

Or you could just google for trapezoid derivation

#

cut it like this?

craggy delta
#

Right?

#

That's what I would figure, but I'm not 100% sure.

AB || CD

#

But CD input is not given

#

Which is b1

#

And you can't do it like that

ye mb 1/2 * b*height thats hyp

#

#

you could pythagorean to find base or height, whichever you wanna call it

#

call it x and it'll just be 1/2 * 20 * x = area of triangle

#

i mean 29 is hyp

astral raven
# craggy delta Nope

which is why you're right. i mistakenly assumed they meant 1/2 * height * base
