Question

Can someone please help me to work this out

Answer 1

13.64 square centimeters

Explanation:

Hey there!

The formula to finding the area of a trapezoid is:

1/2 (p + q) h

Where h is the height, p is the shorter base and q is the longer base

In this case

p - 3.6

q - 5.2

h - 3.1

1/2 (3.6 + 5.2) 3.1

1/2 (8.8) 3.1

(4.4) 3.1 --> 4.4 x 3.1

13.64

So, the area of this trapezoid is 13.64 square centimeters

Answer 2

13.64 cm²

Explanation:

Area of Trapezoid :

• 1/2 x (a + b) x h

1. a and b = parallel side lengths
2. h = height

Solving :

• 1/2 x (5.2 + 3.6) x 3.1
• 1/2 x 8.8 x 3.1
• 4.4 x 3.1
• 13.64 cm²
