Question

Help me with this I have to do this before the 11th

Answer 1

area of trapezoid =0.5 x (sum of bases) x height

Plodding in the given values we get:

Area of trapezoid= 0.5 x (11+9) x 5.5 = 27.5 sqaure feet

To find the area of the triangle, we can use the formula

Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x heigh

Plugging in the given values we get:

Area of triangle = 0.5 x 11 x 5.5 = 30.25 square feet

Therefore, the area of the triangle is greater than area of trapezoid.

Explanation:

the reason for this is because the triangle has a greater heigh (5.5 ft) than the trapezoid, and the base light of the triangle (11 ft) is equal to one of the bases of the trapezoid, which allows it to cover a greater area fro thr same base length.

Answer 2

The area of the kite is greater than the area of the trapezoid.

Explanation:

Area of rectangle:

A = LW

A = 11 ft × 5.5 ft

A = 60.5 ft²

Area of trapezoid:

A = (1/2)(B + b)h

A = (1/2)(11 ft + 9 ft)(5.5 ft)

A = 55 ft²

Since the trapezoid lies inside the rectangle, with two triangles missing, it makes sense that the area of the trapezoid is smaller than the area of the rectangle.

Area of kite:

A = 2 × area of triangle

A = 2 × bh/2

A = 2 × 11 ft × 5.5 ft / 2

A = 60.5 ft²

The area of the kite is greater than the area of the trapezoid.

The area of a kite is half the product of the lengths of its diagonals. One diagonal of the kite has the same length as the rectangle. The other diagonal of the kite has twice the width of the rectangle. Therefore, the area of the kite equals the area of the rectangle. The trapezoid has a smaller area than the rectangle, so the trapezoid has a smaller area than the kite.
