Summary
Trapezoid Area, A= (a+b) × h /2, why?
Given any trapezoid, if the parallel top and bottom are a and b, respectively, and the corresponding height (altitude) is h, the area is (a+b) × h /2. But why?
To see why, we take two congruent copies of a trapezoid and make a parallelogram with the same height and a base of (a+b). Such a parallelogram can be easily converted to a rectangle with a base of (a+b) and height (h, or width), and, accordingly, an area of (a+b) × h. Why do we have to divide that by 2? Well, it is because we want to know the area of the trapezoid. Of course, there are other ways to explain it. One way or the other, it goes back to what we know about rectangles or other shapes.
Two versions are provided to demonstrate the process behind A= (a+b) × h /2. The trapezoid is just a random one. Have fun.

Intratec TEC-9 3D Model
The 3D model was created on real base. It’s created accurately, in real units of measurement, qualitatively and maximally close to the original.Model formats:- *.max (3ds Max 2008 scanline)- *.max (3ds Max 2008 vray)- *.fbx (Multi Format)- *.obj (Multi Format)- *.3ds (Multi Format)- *.mb (Maya 8.5)- *.lwo (Lightwave 6)- *.c4d (Cinema 4D 11)* renders Are made in 3ds Max 2008 using vray 1.5 (studio environment is not included in the set)If you need any other formats we are more than happy to make them for you.The model is provided combined, all main parts are presented as separate parts therefore materials of objects are easy to be modified or removed and standard parts are easy to be replaced. If you experience difficulties with separating standard parts we are more than happy to give you qualified assistance.We greatly appreciate you choosing our 3D models and hope they will be of use.We look forward to continuously dealing with you.Sincerely Yours,Hum3D Team
