Question

The quadrilateral below is a trapezoid.

What is the area, in square meters, of this
trapezoid?

Answer 1

2520

Explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid you must use the formula

A=((b^1+b^2)÷2)h

it looks confusing in this format, but that's the best I can do.

A is the area

b^1 is base 1

b^2 is base 2

h is the hieght

in this case you would work it out like:

A=((35+175)÷2)24

A=(210÷2)24

A=(105)24

A=2520

I hope this helped ;-)
