Question

The two bases of a trapezoid are 3 and 11 and the altitude is 8 . What is the area of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

We are given two bases as 3 and 11

altitude is 8

formula for area of trapezoid is given by

$A=\frac{a+b}{2} *h$

here a and b are two bases and h is height

plugging the given values we get

$A=\frac{11+3}{2} *8$ =56

Area of trapezoid = 56 unit square
