Question

Calculate the area of the trapezoid if a = 17.3, b= 13.5, c= 7.8 and h= 12.6

Answer 1

Given is the trapezoidal .

here C and A are parallel sides .

h is the perpendicular distance between the sides .

Area of trapezoidal : ( sum of length of parallel side * height)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

2

Area of trapezoidal = ( 17.3 + 7.8 )

-------------------

2

( 25.1) /2 = 12.55

Answer : 12.55

Answer 2

we are given

`a=17.3`

`b=13.5`

`c=7.8`

`h=12.6`

we can use area formula

`Area=(1)/(2) (a+c)*h`

`Area=(1)/(2) (17.3+7.8)*12.6`

now, we can solve it

and we get

`Area=(1)/(2) (17.3+7.8)*12.6`

`Area=158.13`........Answer
