Question

Finding

2
A parcel of land resembles a trapezoid with bases 290 mi and 410 mi and height 20 mi. Estimate the area of the land by finding the area of the trapezoid.

Answer 1

Area of a trapezoid flat land = 1400mi ^2

Explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is easy to remember

= shaped front face = house with sloped sides flat roof.

bases actually are the parellel lines, which we add.

290 mi + 410 = 700 (non slope)

Then we multiply the height of the slope = 20 x 700 (with the non slope squarer shape) 20 x 700 = 1400mi ^2
