## Quick Answer

Calculate the area and dimensions of a trapezoid. Enter the bases and height to find the area and perimeter with formulas.

## Definition

A trapezoid calculator is a geometric tool that computes the area, perimeter, side lengths, and angles of a trapezoid. By entering the lengths of the two parallel bases and the height, the calculator determines the area using the formula where area equals the average of the bases multiplied by the height. It can also solve for missing angles or side lengths if coordinate points or side inputs are provided. Students and draftspersons use this tool to solve geometry homework and estimate land plots.

## How to Use

1. **Enter bases and height** — Type the lengths of base A, base B, and the vertical height.
2. **Input side lengths** — Enter the slanted side lengths if you want to calculate the perimeter.
3. **Read the results** — View the calculated area, and the perimeter once both legs are supplied.
