Question

Given the square ABCD, 4 m on each side, join E, middle point of segment BC, with vertex D. Calculate the area of ​​the trapezoid formed

Answer 1

Answer:

12 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 parallel lines of the trapezoid will have lengths 4 and 2.

The area of the trapezoid = 1/2 (a + b)/ h where a and b are the parallel lines and h is the height. Here a = 4 , b = 2 and h = 4 so area =  1/2 * ( 4 + 2) * 4

= 1/2 * 6 * 4

=  12 m^2.

Answer 2

E is the correct answer
