The area of trapezium is the region covered by a trapezium in a two-dimensional plane.
Area of a trapezium with the length of the parallel sides a and b and the height of the trapezium h is given by,
$Area=\frac{1}{2} h (a+b)$
The trapezium is further categorized into three different types:
Isosceles trapezium – The legs or the non-parallel sides of the trapezium are of equal length.
Scalene Trapezium – A trapezium with all the sides and angles of different measures.
