Question

HELP!! please. What is the area of the polygon shown?

Answer 1

38 cm squared

Explanation:

Given figure : Trapezoid

Base sides,

a = 11 cm

b = 11 - 3 = 8 cm

height ( h ) = 4 cm

Now, finding the area:

`(1)/(2) (a + b) \: h`

plug the values

`(1)/(2) * (11 + 8) * 4`

Calculate the sum

`(1)/(2) * 19 * 4`

Reduce the numbers with G.C.F 2

`19 * 2`

Calculate the product

`38 \: {cm}^(2)`

Hope this helps...

Best regards!
