The formula you provided is the formula for the area of a trapezoid.
Explanation:
In this formula:
- A represents the area of the trapezoid
- m and n represent the lengths of the parallel bases of the trapezoid
- h represents the height of the trapezoid (the perpendicular distance between the parallel bases)
To find the area of a trapezoid, you add the lengths of the parallel bases and divide the sum by 2, then multiply by the height.
A= 1/2(m+n)h
