Question

Find the area of the trapezoid 2 2 2 2 4

Answer 1

Correct answer is (10)

Explanation:

since 2 triangles come together to form a square\rectangle

length * width = Area

we can find both areas of the triangles:

left triangle: 2*2 = 4 --> 4 devided in half = 2

square area = 4

right side triangle: 2*4 = 8 ---> devided in half = 4

______________________________________

next add up all the measurements for each piece:

left triangle + middle square + right side triangle = area

(2+4+4 = 10)

Hope I helped you out :)

Have a great day \ and good luck on your studies :D

Answer 2

It is 10.

Explanation:

If we just find the area for each section and add them all up it would equal 10. The first triangle, 2x2=4 then divide that by 2 will equal you 2. Then the square is just 2x2 =4. Then the last triangle, 2x4=8 then divide that by 2 = 4. 2+4+4=10.
