Question

Find the area of the trapezoid in the figure below round your final answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

60.9 units^2

Explanation:

Well the formula for the area of a trapezoid is,

`(b1+b2)/(2) h`

So b1 and b2 are 142 and 3.7,

14.2 + 3.7 = 17.9

17.9 ÷ 2 = 8.95

8.95 × 6.8 = 60.86

60.9 units^2 rounded to the nearest tenth.

Thus,

the area of the trapezoid is 60.9 units^2.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: 60.9 u^2

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated as seen in the attachment.

Thus:

`A = (3.7+14.2)/(2) * 6.8\\A = (17.9)/(2) *6.8\\A = 8.95*6.8\\A = 60.86\\Round\\\left[\begin{array}{c}A=60.9\end{array}\right]`

Hope it helps <3
