Question

A pedestal is built using a trapezoid shaped base. Find the area of the trapezoid.

A = 18 sq m
A= 24 sq m
A= 15 sq m
A= 22 sq m

Answer 1

its 18 because, 8+4=12 divided by 2=6x3=18

I'm in Connexus too btw :)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: A = 18 sq m

Explanation:

The area of trapezoid is given by :-

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)*(a+b)h`, where and b are the opposite parallel sides and h is the height of the trapezoid.

From the picture, a=8 m, b= 4 m and h=3 m

Now, The area of trapezoid is given by :-

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)*(8+4)3\\\Rightarrow\text{Area =}(1)/(2)(12)*3\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=18\ m^2`

Hence, the area of trapezoid A= 18 sq m.
