Question

Find the areas of the following geometric figure. Find the area of a trapezoid whose parallel sides measure 8.5 m and 4.5 m and whose altitude is 6.5 m to the nearest tenth area =

Answer 1

Answer:

42.25 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid = (h/2)(a + b) where h = altitude, and a and b are the 2 parallel sides.

So the area of this one = (6.5 / 2) ( 8.5 + 4.5)

=  42.25 m^2
