Python Math: Calculate the area of a trapezoid

Python Math: Exercise-3 with Solution

Write a Python program to calculate the area of a trapezoid.
Note: A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two sides parallel. The trapezoid is equivalent to the British definition of the trapezium. An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid in which the base angles are equal so.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

base_1 = 5
base_2 = 6
height = float(input("Height of trapezoid: "))
base_1 = float(input('Base one value: '))
base_2 = float(input('Base two value: '))
area = ((base_1 + base_2) / 2) * height
print("Area is:", area)

Sample Output:

Height of trapezoid: 6                                                                                        
Base one value: 10                                                                                            
Base two value: 5                                                                                             
Area is: 45.0

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
