how to calculate the area of a trapezoid in matlab

To calculate the area of a trapezoid in MATLAB, you can use the following formula:

area = (b1 + b2) * h / 2

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid and h is its height.

Here's an example code that calculates the area of a trapezoid with base1 = 3, base2 = 6 and height = 4:

main.m
% input values
b1 = 3;
b2 = 6;
h = 4;

% calculate area
area = (b1 + b2) * h / 2;

% output result
fprintf('The area of the trapezoid is: %f', area);

The output will be:

main.m
The area of the trapezoid is: 18.000000
