Area of a trapezium ABCD = {¹/₂ × (AB + DC) × h} square units.
Proof: Area of a trapezium ABCD
= area (∆DFA) + area (rectangle DFEC) + area (∆CEB)
= (¹/₂ × AF × DF) + (FE × DF) + (¹/₂ × EB × CE)
= (¹/₂ × AF × h) + (FE × h) + (¹/₂ × EB × h)

= ¹/₂ × h × (AF + 2FE + EB)
= ¹/₂ × h × (AF + FE + EB + FE)
= ¹/₂ × h × (AB + FE)
= ¹/₂ × h × (AB + DC) square units.
= ¹/₂ × (sum of parallel sides) × (distance between them)
