Question

The diagram shows a row of four identical tiles, each in the shape of an isosceles

trapezoid. What is the area of one tile?

Answer 1

80 square inches

Explanation:

16x5= 80

Answer 2

The area of one tile is 80 sq.

Explanation:

We are given a a row of four identical tiles, each in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid.

The two isosceles trapezoid makes a parallelogram

Base of parallelogram =16 inch

Height of parallelogram = 10 inch

Area of parallelogram =
`base * Height`

Area of parallelogram =
`16 * 10 = 160 sq. in.`

Area of 2 trapezoid = 160 sq. in.

Area of 1 trapezoid =
`(160)/(2)= 80 sq.in`

Hence the area of one tile is 80 sq.in.
