Question

What is the area of this trapezoid?



Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer: 153 sq. units

Explanation:

Base a = 10

Base b = 7x2 = 24

Height = 9

area of trapezoid = 1/2 * (a+b) * h

= 10+24 * 9 /2

= 306/2 = 153

Answer 2

153 units squared

Explanation:

first, multiply 10 x9 to find the area of the rectangle, which is 90

then find the area of the triangle. The formula for area of a triangle is

A=1/2bh

so, 7 x 9= 63 divided by 2 is 31.5

since there are 2, multiply 31.5 x 2= 63

add 63 to 90 which is 153
