Question

30 points !!!! Find the area of a trapezoid, given the bases b1 = 14 mi and b2 = 25 mi and height h = 6 mi. 117 mi2 217 mi2 234 mi2 250 mi2

Answer 1

117 mi²

Explanation:

Area of trapezoid:

½ × (sum of parallel sides) × height

½×(14+25)×6 = 117 mi²

Answer 2

117 mi²

Explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` h (b₁ + b₂), substitute values

=
`\frac{1}2}` × 6 × (14 + 25)

= 3 × 39

= 117 mi²
