Question

Find the areas of the trapezoid

Answer 1

Formula for the area of a trapezoid;

A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) x h

Where b1 represents base one, and b2 is base two. And H displays as the height.

First, we must figure out our bases and then our height.

If we look at the trapezoid, we can see the bottom base(which will be our base 1) is 4. Our upper base is 2, which we will consider our base 2.

Our height is 4, because the distance between our bases is 4.

So now we plug these values into our formula;

A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) x h

A = 1/2 (4 + 2) x 4

Now solve:-

A = 1/2(6) x 4

A = 6/2 x 4

A = 3 x 4

A = 12

Answer 2

48 inches

Explanation:

It is going by 2 so when you look at the lines inside the shape going up and down you see 4 lines. 4 times 2=8( because it is going by 2). Then you see the lines in the shape going horizontal it states 2 lines is equal to 2 so then you do 2 times 2=4(because it is going by two). You then do 8 times 4=32 and 8 times 2=16 32+16=48. I go to RSM too so trust me this is correct.
