Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is the following,
Where () represents the heights of the trapezoid, (
) and (
) represent the bases of the trapezoid, or rather the two parallel sides of the trapezoid.
One is given all of these values in the picture,
Substitute these values into the formula and solve for the area of the trapezoid,
Simplify,
Answer:
<u>AP = 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached figure.
CD = 10 and XY = 24
Line XY bisects and is perpendicular to AB and CD
∴ XY bisects at Y
∴ CY = 0.5 CD = 0.5 * 10 = 5
And from the geometry of the shape
P is the midpoint of XY
∴ XP = YP = 0.5 XY = 0.5 * 24 = 12
XY is perpendicular to CD
∴ ΔPYC is a right triangle at Y
∴ PC (hypotenuse) =
From the figure AP = PC = 13
