Question

What is the area of the trapezoid?

A trapezoid has a base of 19 meters, a height of 16 meters, and a top side length of 13 meters.
232 m2
256 m2
328 m2
352 m2

Answer 1

b

Answer 2

Answer: second option.

Explanation:

For this exercise you need to use the formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid. This is:

`A_(trapezoid)=(1)/(2)(B+b) (h)`

Where "B" and "b" are the lengths of the bases and "h" is the height of the trapezoid.

In this case, according to the information given in the exercise, you know that:

`B=19\ m\\\\b=13\ m\\\\h=16\ m`

Then, knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula given above and after evaluate, you will obtain the area of that trapezoid.

Therefore, the result is:

`A_(trapezoid)=(1)/(2)(19\ m+13\ m) (16\ m)\\\\A_(trapezoid)=(1)/(2)(32\ m) (16\ m)\\\\A_(trapezoid)=(1)/(2)(512\ m^2) \\\\A_(trapezoid)=256\ m^2`
