Question

What is the area of the trapezoid below?

A. 36 square root of 3 c m squared



B. 44 square root of 3 c m squared



C. 65 c m squared



D. 88 c m squared

Answer 1

1.) B. 22.5m squared

4.) A. 36 square root of 3 c m squared

Answer 2

The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is:

`A= (a+b)/(2) h`
Let's plug in the values.

`A= (11+7)/(2) *8`
Our answer would be:

`A=72`

This means that the area should be 72 cm squared. We could represent this as
`72 cm^2`
Since we have to divide 72 by 2, our answer would be 36. The answer would be A!
