Question

Area of a Trapezoid
Find the area of each

pls help!

Answer 1

• Answer:

`\Large{\boxed{\sf Area = 3.5cm^2 }}`

`\\`

• Explanation:

We are going to find the area of a trapezoid using the following formula:

`\sf A_(trapezoid) = ((a + b))/(2) * h`

Where:

• a is the length of one side.
• b is the length of the side that is parallel to a.
• h is the height.

`\\`

`\sf \Large{\sf Given \text{:} \begin{cases} \sf a &=\sf 4cm \\ \sf b &=\sf 1cm \\ \sf h &= \sf 1.3cm \end{cases} }`

`\\`

Substituting these values into our formula, we get:

`\sf A_(trapezoid) = (1 + 4)/(2) * 1.3 = 2.5 * 1.3 = \boxed{\boxed{\sf 3.5 cm^2}}`
