Question

Find the area of the isosceles trapezoid below by using the area formulas for rectangles and triangles. A = 10 cm, b = 14 cm, and c = 5 cm

Answer 1

The area is 60 cm^2

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the area of the isosceles trapezoid

Mathematically, the area is ;

Area = 1/2( a + b) c

Thus, we have that;

Area = 1/2(10 + 14)5

= 1/2 * 24 * 5

= 60 cm^2
