Question

Find the area of the trapezoid.

8 cm
6 cm
13 cm
A. 78 cm2
B. 48 cm2
C. 63 cm
D. 104

Answer 1

it's gonna be 63cm^2

Explanation:

First, were gonna find the area of the rectangular portion, which is 8x6, which is 48cm^2

Next, well do the triangle part. So, we have to subtract 13-8 to get the width of the triangle.

Next, we have to find the area for the triangle. The formula is length x width / 2.

So, we have to multiply 6x5 to get 30.

Then, well divide it by 2, which will give us 15cm^2

Finally, we add the areas of rectangle and the triangle together. 15 + 48 is 63.

Bada-bing, bada-boom, we got 63cm^2 as our answer :)

Answer 2

c; 63 square cm

Explanation:

the area of a trapezoid can be described by the equation a = (1/2)(h)(b1 + b2)

this means the height times base 1 and base 2 added together divided by 2

(1/2)(6)(8 + 13) is the equation

this can become 3(21)

which is ultimitaly 63
