Question

Find the area of a trapezoid. A. 39 square root 3 sq units B. 43.5 sq units C. 43.5 square root 3 sq units

Answer 1

43.5√3 sq. units

Explanation:

Base 1 of trapezoid is 10.

Base 2 of trapezoid is 16 + 3 = 19

The height = 3√3 (To get the height you had to multiply the number 3 from the bottom base of the trapezoid by the square root of three)

Now plug these numbers into the trapezoid formula: A = 1/2(3√3)(10 + 19)

Simplify to get: 43.5√3 sq. units
