Question

What is the area of a trapezoid and why

Answer 1

Area= (a+b) X h

2

Explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is the average of the bases multiplied by the altitude

Answer 2

Answer:A=a+b/2h

Step-by-step explanation:A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel. We must take the average of the bases and then multiply by the height. That means that we need to add the bases together and divide by 2. Then we will multiply by the height.
