In this article we will show you, How to write C Program to find Area of a Trapezoid and Median of a Trapezoid with example. Before we step into practical example, Let see the definitions and formulas behind the Median and Area of a Trapezoid
Area of a Trapezoid
If we know the height and two base lengths then we can calculate the Area of a Trapezoid using the below formula:
Area = (a+b)/2 *h
Where a and b are the two bases and h is the height of the Trapezoid
We can calculate the median of a Trapezoid using the following formula:
Median = (a+b) / 2.
If we know the Median and height then we can calculate the Area of a Trapezoid as: median*height
C Program to find Area of a Trapezoid
This program allows the user to enter both sides of the Trapezoid and height. Using those values we will calculate the Area of a trapezoid and Median of a Trapezoid.

/* C Program to find Area of a Trapezoid */ #include<stdio.h> int main() { float base1, base2, height, Area, Median; printf("\n Please Enter two bases and height of the trapezium \n"); scanf("%f %f %f", &base1, &base2, &height); Area = 0.5 * (base1 + base2) * height; Median = 0.5 * (base1+ base2); printf("\n Area of a trapezium = %.2f \n", Area); printf("\n Median of a trapezium = %.2f \n", Median); return 0; } |
OUTPUT
ANALYSIS
Below printf statement will ask the user to enter base1, base and height values
|
1 |
printf("\n Please Enter two bases and height of the trapezium \n"); |
Below scanf statement will assign the user input values to respected variables. Such as first value will be assigned to base1, second value to base2 and third value to height
|
1 |
scanf("%f %f %f", &base1, &base2, &height); |
User Entered Values are base1 = 6, base2 = 9 and height = 4
Area of a Trapezoid = 0.5 * (base1 + base2) * height;
Area of a Trapezoid = 0.5 * (6 + 9) * 4;
Area of a Trapezoid = 0.5 * 15 * 4;
Area of a Trapezoid = 30
Median of a Trapezoid = 0.5 * (base1+ base2);
Median of a Trapezoid = 0.5 * (6 + 9)
Median of a Trapezoid = 0.5 * 15
Median of a Trapezoid = 7.5
