Question

Calculate the area of the trapezoid.
15 mm
13 mm
22 mm
square millimeters

Answer 1

240.5 square millimeters

Explanation:

I did this by taking apart the trapezoid and making a triangle and rectangle. To find the side of my triangle, I subtracted 15 from 22 to get 7. Then I multiplied 13 by 7 and divided that by 2 to get 45.5. Then for the rectangle, I multiplied 13 by 15 to get 195. Then I added those two values to get 240.5.
