Question

A traoezoid has basses of 36 1/2 noches and 13 1/2 noches and a height of 10 1/2 inches.What is the área of the trapezoid in square inches?​

Answer 1

Area of trapezoid = 262.5 inches²

Explanation:

Given:

Larger Base =
`36(1)/(2)` inches = 36.5 inches

Smaller Base =
`13(1)/(2)` inches = 13.5 inches

Height of trapezoid =
`10(1)/(2)` inches = 10.5 inches

Find:

Area of trapezoid

Computation:

Area of trapezoid = [Sum of parallel line / 2]Height

Area of trapezoid = [(a+b) / 2]h

Area of trapezoid = [(36.5 + 13.5) / 2]10.5

Area of trapezoid = [(50) / 2]10.5

Area of trapezoid = [25]10.5

Area of trapezoid = 262.5 inches²
