Find the area of a trapezoid if the altitude is 6 inches and the median is 8 inches. (Hint: Recall that the median of a trapezoi
d is equal to half the sum of the bases.)

Answer:
48 sq. in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for finding trapezoid area: A = 1/2(h)(b1 + b2)
They said the median of a trapezoid is equal to half the sum of the bases, so multiply the median by 2 to get the sum of the bases.
Sum of the bases = 8(2) = 16
Now plug what you have into the equation to find the area: A = 1/2(6)(16)
Simplify to get: 48
Hope this helps!
It is the same as the area of a rectangle with those dimensions:
.. Area = (6 in)*(8 in) = 48 in^2
