Question

The bases of a trapezoid are 4 yards and 6 yards. The height of the trapezoid is 5 yards. What is the area of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

25 sq y

Explanation:

The equation used to find the area of a trapezoid is A = ((a1 + b1) /2) h

Put the numbers given to you into the equation like so:

A = ((4 + 6) /2) 5 original equation

A = (10 / 2) 5

A = (5) 5

A = 25

Therefore, the answer to this problem is 25 sq y
