Question

Find the area of the trapezoid.
b1=5
b2=7
h=4

PLEASE EXPLAIN TOO!

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Solve the indicated variable. Multiply both sides by 2 . Divide both sides by h

Answer 2

Explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is
`(b_(1) + b_(2) )/(2)` ×h

Start by substituting the values given in the problem into the formula

`(5+7)/(2)` ×4

Now Simply/solve

`(12)/(2)` ×4

6×4

24

The area of the trapezoid is 24
`units^(2)`

I hope this helps!!!
