You may be thinking/asking:

What is a trapezoid?

A trapezoid is a quadrangle with two parallel sides. This is not saying much about the quadrangle, so it is quite difficult to do calculations. At least you know that angles lying at different of the parallel sides have the sum 180°.

How can I imagine trapezoid formulas?

Most of them can be understood by cutting corners of the trapezoid and re-shaping it to a rectangle.

Sample Response: The area is the sum of the square area and the triangle area. The area of the square is A = s2 = 22 = 4 in.2. The base of the triangle is found by subtracting: 3.6 – 2 = 1.6 in. The area of the triangle is A = 1/2 bh=1/2(2)(1.6) = 1.6 in.2. Add the areas to get the total area of the figure: 4 + 1.6 = 5.6 in.2.
