Question

A trapezoid has a height of four. One of its bases has a measurement of 3. The other has a measurement of 5. What is the area of this trapezoid?

Answer 1

Hello! The area of the trapezoid is 16.

The way to get this answer is by using the following equation:

area =
`(base 1 * base 2)/(2) * height`

base 1 is the small one, usually on the top. base 2 is the large one, usually on the bottom. the height is the direct distance from base 1 to base 2

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
