Question

use the formula for the area of a trapezoid A=h(b1+b2/2), were area is A b1 and b2 are the length of the base and h is the hight of 15yd. and the bases of 14yd.and 26yd

Answer 1

Answer: 300 yards

Explanation:

Since b1 is equal to 14 yds and b2 is equal to 26 yds we can plug that into the equation below (in the image).

b1 + b2 = 14 + 26 = 40 yards

Now that we have found (b1 + b2), you can multiply that by h (the height of the trapezoid) which is 15, so we get 40 x 15 = 600.

In a lot of area equations, you will have to divide by two like in the trapezoid equation. Divide our number (600) by 2, so we get 600 ÷ 2 = 300.

300 yds is your final answer.

Hope this helps!
