Question

Find the area of the trapezoid.

A. 17 units^2
B. 20.1 units^2
C. 25 units^2
D. 29.5 units^2

Answer 1

A. 17 m²

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a trapezoid:

`A=(base_1+base_2)/(2)\cdot height`

We have:

`base_1=5m\\base_2=1.8m\\height=5m`

Substitute:

`A=(5+1.8)/(2)\cdot5=(6.8)/(2)\cdot5=3.4\cdot5=17\ m^2`
