Question

Find the area of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

Answer: 52.5 units squared

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is, (base1 + base2)/2 * height

So you find out which variable is which

Base 1 = 4

Base 2 = 3

Height = 15

Then plug it into the formula,

(4+3)/2 * 15

Then solve the order of operations

7/2 * 15

3.5 * 15

52.5 is the answer

Answer 2

52.5

Explanation:

Formula

Area = (1/2) (a + b)*h

Givens

a = 4

b = 3

h = 15

Solution

Area = (4 + 3)*15/2

Area = 7 * 15/2

Area = 105/2

Area = 52.5
