Can someone help?

Complete the table to show how to divide a trapezoid into simpler figures to find its area.

Answer 1

Answer:
1.875 ст^3
I think that's the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right angled triangle, hypotenuse (AC)= h= 2 cm
base(BC) =b= 2.5 cm
Now,
By Pythagoras theorem, h^2=p^2 + b^2
or, (2)^2=p^ 2 + (2.5)^2
or, 4=p^2+ 6.25
or, - p^2 = 6.25-4
or, p= ‡/2.25
or, p= ‡1.5
Then,
Area of ABC= 1/2 ×bxp
=1/2 ×2.5x 1.5
= 1.875 ст^3

Answer 2

the trapezoid with the rectangle and 2 triangles

area triangle 1+area rectangle+area triangle 2=area whole trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

If you split the trapezoid into these sections then you can determine the area of the trapezoid by multiplying length by width of the rectangle.

Then you can take the length and width of the triangle and divide it by 2 to find the area of the triangles. Add them all together and you find the area of the whole trapezoid!

This way is the easiest way to find the area of the whole trapezoid since it divides it into smaller sections that can easily find the area. Hope this helps!
