Question

Find the area of the trapezoid with bases 5cm and 2cm and height 1/5 cm.

(Simplify your answer)

Answer 1

0.7

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is (A+B)÷2×H

So our formula is (5+2)÷2×1/5

1.

5+2=7

2.

7÷2=3.5

3.

3.5×1/5=0.7

That's why the answer is 0.7

Answer 2

1

Explanation:

`((5 + 2) * (1)/(5) )/(2)` =
`((7)/(5))/(2)` =
`(1.4)/(2)` = 0.7, rounded to the nearest ones is 1.
