Question

What is the area of the sign?Darren made a display board in the shape of a trapezoid. Part A The height of the trapezoid is half the length of the shorter base, and the longer base is twice the length of the shorter base. What are the lengths of the height and the longer base? Enter your answers in the boxes.

Answer 1

Height = 2 yards

Longer base = 8 yards

Explanation:

From the figure attached :

The length of the shorter base of the Trapezoid = 4 yards

Hence, if height of Trapezoid is half the length of the shorter base ;

Then ;

Height of Trapezoid = shorter base/2 = 4 /2 = 2 yards

Longer base is twice the length of shorter base :

Longer base = 2 * shorter base = 2 * 4 = 8 yards
