Find the areas of the two triangles. Notice that the height of each triangle is the same as the height of the trapezoid.First, find the area of this triangle. Use the formula for the area of a triangle A₁ = \\(1\\over2\\)xb₁x h

Next, find the area of the other triangle. A₂ =\\(1\\over2\\) xb₂x h

Now, find the area of the trapezoid. It is made up of the two triangles. So, add the areas of the two triangles.

Find the areas of the two triangles. Notice that the height of each triangle is the same as the height of the trapezoid.

First, find the area of this triangle. A₁ = \\(1\\over2\\)xb₁xh

Next, find the area of the other triangle. A₂ = \\(1\\over2\\)xb₂xh

Now, find the area of the trapezoid. It is made up of the two triangles. So, add the areas of the two triangles.

Cut the trapezoid into two triangles.

The formula for calculating the area of the trapezoid with base \\(a , b\\) and heigh be \\(h\\)

\\(A=\\frac{1}{2}(a+b)\\times h\\)

First, find the area of this triangle. A = \\(1\\over2\\)x b₁ x h₁

Next, find the area of the other triangle.  A = \\(1\\over2\\)x b₂ x h₂

Cut the trapezoid into two triangles.
