here;s a calculator to measure the area

Measure the base of your trapezoid (b1); then measure the top of your trapezoid (b2); then measure the heighth of your trapezoid (h); enter them in spaces provided; then click on the “Calculate” button:

Ok…imagine your trapezoid like so:

b1

——-

/____\ | h

b2

b1=small base

b2=large base

h=height

You want (h*b1) + 1/2h(b2-b1)

Hope this helps.
