Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

A = 1/2*h(base + base)

Plugging everything in gives you:

1/2*(6.8)(7.5 + 13.7 + 5.3)

((13.7 + 5.3) gives you the bottom base)

First, adding inside the parentheses:

1/2*(6.8)(26.5)

Multiply 6.8 by 26.5(h times bases):

1/2*(180.2)

Lastly, multiply:

A= 90.1 m^2

Hope this helps :)
