Question

Find the area of a trapezoid, given the bases b1 = 5.6 cm and b2 = 8.5 cm and height h = 6 cm. 50.6 cm2 42.3 cm2 84.6 cm2 25.3 cm2

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: area = 42.3 cm²

Explanation:

Data

base 1 = 5.6 cm

base 2 = 8.5 cm

height = 6 cm

Formula

area = 1/2 (base 1 + base 2) x height

Process

area = 1/2 (5.6 + 8.5) x 6

area = 1/2(14.1) x 6

area = 42.3 cm²
