Online calculator and formulas for unsymmetrical trapezoids

Calculate parameters of a trapezoid


To calculate the trapezoid, either the sides a and c as well as the height and the projection x are entered; alternatively, an angle and 3 side lengths can be specified.

Formulas for calculating a trapezoid


Side length \(a \)

\(\displaystyle a = \frac{A · 2} {h}-c\) \(a = m · 2 -c\)

Side length \(b \)

\(\displaystyle b = \frac{h}{ sin(β)}\) \(\displaystyle b = \frac{h}{sin(γ)}\)

Side length \(c \)

\(\displaystyle c = \frac{ A · 2}{ h} - a\) \(\displaystyle c = m · 2 - a\)

Side length \(d \)

\(\displaystyle d = h / sin(α)\) \(d = h / sin(δ)\)

Diagonal \(e \)

\(\displaystyle e = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 - 2 · a · b · cos(β)}\)

Diagonal \(f \)

\(\displaystyle f = \sqrt{a^2 + d^2 - 2 · a · d · cos(α)}\)

Height \(h\)

\(\displaystyle h = \frac{2 · A} {a + c}\) \(h = b · sin(β)\)

Width \(m \)

\(\displaystyle m = \frac{a + c} { 2}\) \(\displaystyle m = A / h\)

Area \(A \)

\(\displaystyle A = \frac{(a + c) · h} { 2 }\) \(A = m · h\)

Perimeter \(P \)

\(\displaystyle P = a + b + c+ d\)

Angle \(α \)

\(\displaystyle α = asin\left(\frac{h}{d}\right)\) \(\displaystyle α = 180 - δ\)

Angle \(β \)

\(\displaystyle β = asin\left(\frac{h}{b}\right)\) \(\displaystyle β = 180 - γ\)

Angle \(γ \)

\(\displaystyle γ = 180 - β\)

Angle \(δ \)

\(\displaystyle δ = 180 - α\)

Excess \(x \)

\(\displaystyle x = \sqrt{d^2-h^2}\)

Excess \(y \)

\(\displaystyle y = \sqrt{b^2-h^2}\)
