Question

A trapezoid has a base 1 = 6 base = 8 and a height = 3 whats the area?

Answer 1

`area = 21`

Explanation:

Area of trapezoid formula:

`area = (a + b)/(2) h`

Given information:

a: 6

b: 8

h: 3

Using the given information,

`area = (6 + 8)/(2) 3`

Add the numbers in the numerator

`area = (14)/(2) 3`

Reduce fraction with 2

`area = 7 * 3`

Answer:

`area = 21`
