By lateral sides and bases
The area of a trapezoid can be found through the sides using the substitution method. By drawing two heights in the trapezoid, we get right triangles with known hypotenuse and unknown legs. Through the Pythagorean theorem, we express height in right triangles, after with substitutions we obtain the above-mentioned formula.
