Question

Find the areas of the trapezoids.

Answer 1

7.5 sq. un

Explanation:

Hello!

The height is 3 units, the base is 4 units, and the other base is 1 unit.

Using the trapezoid area formula,
`A = \frac12(b_1+b_2)h`, we can plug the values in and solve.

Solve:

• 
  `A = \frac12(b_1+b_2)h`
• 
  `A = \frac12(1 + 4)3`
• 
  `A = \frac12(5)(3)`
• 
  `A = 2.5(3)`
• 
  `A = 7.5`

The area is 7.5 sq. un
