Question

Two congruent trapezoids are joined at the dotted line as shown in the model below.

What is the area of both trapezoids in square centimeters

Answer 1

Let's see.

`\\ \sf\Rrightarrow Area=(1)/(2)(Sum\:of\: parallel\:sides)Height`

`\\ \sf\Rrightarrow Area=(1)/(2)(6+9)(4)`

`\\ \sf\Rrightarrow Area=2(14)`

`\\ \sf\Rrightarrow Area=28cm^2`

• Area of both=2(28)=56cm^2
