Question

Please help me fast and show all your work please thx ​

Answer 1

area of trapezoid/trapezium =
`(h)/(2) *(a+b)`

h=height

a and b are the parallel sides (top 2.5 and bottom 6 in this pic)

so
`(5)/(2) *(2.5+6) = (5)/(2)*(8.5) = (42.5)/(2) = 21.25`

Answer 2

Explanation:

`Area=((a+b)*h)/(2)\\\\=((24+32)*16)/(2)\\\\=(56*16)/(2)=28*16\\=448squarecm\\`

2)

`Area=((2.5+6)*5)/(2)\\\\=(8.5*5)/(2)\\\\=(42.5)/(2)=21.25`

= 21.25 square cm
