Area and perimeter of trapezium in java

Let’s learn area and perimeter of trapezium in java.

Area and perimeter of trapezium in java

Trapezium is a quadrilateral with one pair of its sides parallel. To calculate area of trapezium formula is:

area = ½ (sum of length of parallel sides) x perpendicular distance between parallel sides

To calculate perimeter of trapezium formula is:

perimeter = a + b + c +d

where a, b, c and d are sides of trapezium. Now let’s write a program to calculate area and perimeter of trapezium.

import java.util.*;
public class AreaAndPerimeterOfTrapezium
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      float a = 6;
      float b = 14;
      float c = 10;
      float d = 5;
      float h = 21;
      float area = (float) (0.5 * (a + b) * h);
      // a, b, c and d are sides of trapezium
      float perimeter = a + b + c + d;
      System.out.println("area of trapezium is: " + area);
      System.out.println("perimeter of trapezium is: " + perimeter);
   }
}

Output:

area of trapezium is: 210.0
perimeter of trapezium is: 35.0
