Question

What is the area of this trapezoid?

Answer 1

20 in.

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

`A= (b1+b2)/(2) (h)\\\\`

`A= (6+2)/(2) (5)`

`A= (8)/(2) (5)\\\\A= 4(5)\\\\A= 20`

Answer 2

Area of trapezoid : (Base 1 + base 2) x h x 1/2

Let's solve!

( 2+6) x 5 X1/2

= 40x1/2

=20

20 in squared is the area!
