How Do You Find the Area of a Trapezoid? How do you find the area of a trapezoid that has the top base of six (6) and a bottom of twelve (12), the height being four (4)? The question is asking to explain how exactly you’d go about finding the area of a trapezoid. Remember area means the space inside the shape, unlike perimeter where we’d be solving for the space outside. So knowing this moving back to the question, it says the trapezoid has a top base of 6, a bottom of 12 and a height of 4. To solve this we’ll need our formula, using a formula allows for a much smoother break down. The formula for a trapezoid is area = base + base x height and divide that by two. So it’d look something like this- 6+12(4) everything over two then comes out to 18 which you’ll then times that by four giving you 72. Lastly, you’ll divide the 72 by 2 giving you 36.
