Question

What is the area of this trapezoid?

Answer 1

Area of trapezoid : (Base 1 + base 2) x h x 1/2

Let's solve!

( 2+6) x 5 X1/2

= 40x1/2

=20

20 in squared is the area!

Answer 2

Answer:

20 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

$A= \frac{b1+b2}{2} (h)$

$A= \frac{6+2}{2} (5)$

$A= \frac{8}{2} (5)\\\\A= 4(5)\\\\A= 20$
