Question

HELP ASAP!!! What is the area of this trapezoid? (I will thank)

Answer 1

88 u²

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

A =
`(1)/(2)h(b_(1)+b_(2))` where h = height and
`b_(1)`=length of one base and
`b_(2)`=length of the other base.

Given the measurements in the diagram:

h = 4 units

`b_(1)` = 17 units

`b_(2)` = 17 + 5 + 5 = 27 units

Plug them into the equation: A =
`(1)/(2)`(4)(17 + 27) = 88 units²
