Question

What is the area? (IXL)

Answer 1

A = 72

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:
`A=(a+b)/(2)h`

a and b represents the 2 bases

h is the height

Using the formula:

`A=(a+b)/(2)h =(6+10)/(2)9=8*9=72`

The area should be 72 square inches.

Answer 2

72

(6+10)*9

then divide by 2
