Answer:
0.49 ( Rounded to the hundredths place)
Explanation:
The formula for a trapezoid's area is:
A = 1/2( b1 + b2)h
So let's plug in our digits:
16 = 1/2(28 + 37)h or 16 = 1/2(37 + 28)h
We add what is in the parathensis by following PEMDAS:
16 = 1/2(65)h
Then, multiply 1/2 (or 0.5) x 65
That equals 32.5. Now, divide both sides of the equation by 32.5. That cancels out on the right side, so we need to do 16/32.5. That equals ~0.49
