Question

What is the area of the trapezoid?

HURRY

Answer 1

128

Explanation:

(B1+B2)H/2 Add the bases (in this case the bottom and top are the bases) 10+22=32 Then The height (8) Divide it by 2 (8/2=4) And multiply it by the Sum of The two bases In other words 4*32 = 128

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is

Area =
`(1)/(2)` (base 1 + base 2) h

The bases of the trapezoid are the parallel sides. In the trapezoid shown, the bases are 10 cm and 22 cm and the height of the trapezoid is 8 cm. Now, we can plug these numbers into our formula.

`(1)/(2)` (10 cm + 22 cm) (8 cm)

Next, the order of operations tells us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 10 cm + 22 cm = 32 cm.

Now, we have
`(1)/(2)` (32 cm) (8 cm).

`(1)/(2)` × 32 cm = 16 cm.

(16 cm) × (8 cm) = 128 cm.²

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid shown is 128 cm.²
