For example: What is the area of the trapezoid?
Solution:
In the above trapezoid:
Parallel bases are 12 cm and 20 cm.
Height of the trapezoid is 5 cm.
Area of the trapezoid = ½ * (base1 + base2) × height
= ½ * (12+20) * 5
= ½ * (32) * 5
= 80
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 80 square centimeters.

For 6th Grade students, the property of a trapezoid, including its bases, height, and area is an essential topic. The area of a trapezoid is ½ * (base1 + base2) × height. Teachers can provide “Area of trapezoid (using formula) worksheet” to their students to build their confidence in solving geometry problems.
