Question

What is the area, in square inches, of the trapezoid below? 11.6 in 6.7 in 5 in​

Answer 1

The area of the trapezium is 45.75 in²

The formula for the area of a trapezium is :

• 0.5(a + b)×h

Inputting our values:

Area = 0.5(11.6 + 6.7)×5

Area = 0.5(18.3)×5

Area = 9.15 × 5

Area = 45.75 in²

The area of the trapezium is 45.75 in²
