Question

Find the area of a trapezoid which has a measure of

7 meters for its height and 4 meters and 6 meters
for its two bases.

Answer 1

To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the formula:

A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)

where A is the area of the trapezoid, h is the height of the trapezoid, b1 is the length of the first base, and b2 is the length of the second base.

Using the given values, we have:

A = (1/2)(7)(4 + 6)
A = (1/2)(7)(10)
A = 35

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 35 square meters
