Question

Find the areas of the trapezoids.

Answer 1

Answer:

10.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ h (a + b)

where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases

Here h = OS = 3, a = OC = 5 and b = SK = 2, thus

A = 0.5 × 3 × (5 + 2) = 1.5 × 7 = 10.5 units²

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2 units

b = 5 units

height (h) = 3 units

$Area=\frac{(a+b)*h}{2}\\\\=\frac{(2+5)*3}{2}\\\\=\frac{7*3}{2}=\frac{21}{2}\\\\=10.5square units$
