3D Trapezoidal Shape

The 3D Trapezoidal Shape calculator computes the volume, surface area and edge lengths of a trapezoidal shape based on the dimensions:

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (a) Width of Top
• (b) Length of Top
• (A) Width of Bottom
• (B) Length of Bottom
• (h) Height between Top and Bottom

Trapezoid Volume (V): The calculator returns the volume in cubic meters, the surface area in square meters and the edge length in meters.  However, these can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

A rectangular trapezoid volume has regular trapezoids on all four sides with the two sets of identical trapezoids on opposite sides.  The bottom and top rectangles are centered, form parallel planes and separated by the height.

Trapezoidal Volume Definition

A Trapezoidal Volume or Trapezoid Pyramid is a 3D geometric shape with four trapezoid faces and a rectangular base and top.  It is a commonly seen shape in many applications in construction and manufacturing.  Examples include prisms, troughs, containers and pyramids.
