Question

Need to find the area of the trapezoid , help (:

Answer 1

5.6 m²

Explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = 0.5 h (a + b)

where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the measure of the parallel sides

here h = 2, a = 4 and b = 1.6

A = 0.5 × 2 × (4 + 1.6)

= 1 × 5.6

= 5.6
