Topic	Math peeps, can you solve the area of a trapezoid if you only know sides?
Colegreen_c12 07/17/19 5:14:34 PM #2:	yes, you can also calculate the angle if you want to. The main trick is to think of it as two triangles on both sides of a rectangle. Calculate the third side of one of the triangles will give you the height of the rectangle, aka the height of the trapezoid. Then just use the formula: height * ((top+bottom)/2) --- DPOblivion beat us all. <cite>Colegreen_c12 posted [p:924823607] in Math peeps...
