  2. b1 h b2 Trapezoids • In a trapezoid, the parallel sides are the bases (b1 & b2). • The nonparallel sides are the legs. • The heighth is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel bases. leg leg

  3. Area of a Trapezoid • The area of a trapezoid is half the product of the height and the sum of the lengths of the bases. b1 h b2
