Question

Find the area of a trapezoid with base 1 side = 10 base 2 side = 16 and 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

For A Trapezoid

The measure of base side 1 = $b_1$ = 10 unit

The measure of base side 2 = $b_2$ = 16 unit

The height of the Trapezoid = h = 3 unit

Let  The Area of Trapezoid = A square unit

Now, From Formula

Area of Trapezoid = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × (sum of opposite base) × height

I.e A =  $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × ($b_1$ + $b_2$) × h

Or, A =  $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × (10 unit + 16 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × (26 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × 78 unit²

Or, A = $\dfrac{78}{2}$ unit²

I.e A = 39 unit²

So, The Area of Trapezoid = A = 39 unit²

Hence, The Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit² . Answer
