Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Trapezoid</u>
The trapezoid has been broken into two triangles and a rectangle. The two triangles both have the same dimensions, so both have the area ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(2 m)(5 m) = 5 m²
The rectangle has area ...
A = bh = (2 m)(5 m) = 10 m²
So, the total area of the trapezoid is ...
trapezoid area = 5 m² +10 m² +5 m²
trapezoid area = 20 m²
__
<u>Kite</u>
The kite has been broken into two triangles, so the area of each of them is ...
A = (1/2)bh
A = (1/2)(7 m)(3 m) = (21/2) m²
Then the area of the two halves of the kite will be ...
kite area = 2 × (21/2 m²)
kite area = 21 m²
__
The area of the trapezoid is <u>1 m² less than</u> the area of the kite.
