Question

What is the area of trapezoid DEFG with coordinates D (2, 3), E (5, 3), F (3, 1), and G (2, 1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is 4 because I got it right on my test

Answer 2

Check the picture below.

$\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} a=3\\ b=1\\ h= 2 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{2(3+1)}{2}\implies A=4$
