OlaiapezoidFind the of this tranzoid. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.19 mm8 m5 m0mmX

Answer 1

The area of a trapezoid is given as:

`A=(1)/(2)(a+b)h`

Where a and b are the base lengths of the trapezoid and h is the height.

Substitute a=19, b=5, h=4 into the formula:

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)(19+5)\cdot4=(1)/(2)(24)\cdot4 \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{\cancel{2}^1}(\cancel{24}^(12))\cdot4=12\cdot4=48\, m^2 \end{gathered}`

The unit of area is square unit, so the unit, in this case, is m².

The correct answer is 48 m².
