Question

PLEASE HELP, I NEED HELP,AND I DONTT UNDERSTAND!!

Answer 1

Answer: 16

Explanation:

First, calm down.

The area of the trapezoid cannot be found in a straightforward way.

Instead, what we need to do here is divide the trapezoid into two parts, a right triangle and a trapezoid.

Finding the area of the right triangle is easy. You just need to multiply the sides and divide it by 2.

Area of right triangle = 5*4/2 = 10

Next, you need to find the area of the trapezoid.

Area of trapezoid(small) = (2+1)*4/2 = 6

All you need to do now is add the area of these two together, and you get 16.

Answer 2

A = 16 units²

Explanation:

the area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height between the parallel sides b₁ and b₋₂

here h = 4 , b₁ = 6 and b₂ = 2

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 4 × (6 + 2) = 2 × 8 = 16 units²
