Question

What is the area, in square centimeters, of the trapezoid below?

8.5 cm
7.5 cm
15.7 cm

Answer 1

90.75 cm^2

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

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

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height

A = 1/2(8.5+ 15.7) * 7.5

1/2 (24.2) 7.5

90.75 cm^2
