Question

What is the area of the trapezoid? [A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h]

A) 1249.5 sq cm
B) 162.75 sq cm
C) 105 sq cm
D) 38.75 sq cm

Answer 1

105

Explanation:

you just have to plug in your variables

Answer 2

We can see that b1 = 18, b2 = 24, and h = 5

So, we can just substitute these in.

A = 1/2(18 + 24)5

A = 1/2 * 42 * 5

A = 21 * 5

A = 105

So, the answer is C. 105 sq cm
