Question

Find the area of a trapezoid which has a measure of 7 meters for its height and 4 meters and 6 meters for its two bases.

Answer 1

`\text{ area = }\frac{(\text{ a + b\rparen}}{2}*\text{ h }`

Where

a = long base

b = short base

h = height

`\text{ area = }\frac{(\text{6 m + 4 m\rparen}}{2}*7\text{ m = 35 m}^2`

The answer is 35 m2
