If a charm on a Lucy's bracelet had the dimensions shown the area of the charm would be 48mm².
What is the area of the charm?
The area of a trapezoid refers to the total space enclosed by the shape. In the diagram, we are given the picture of a trapezium. To find the area of this trapezium, we would have the following;
A = a + b/2 * h
A = 8 + 16 /2 * 4
A = 24/2 * 4
Area = 12 * 4
= 48 mm
So, if a charm on Lucy's bracelet had the dimensions shown the area of the charm would be 48mm².
