Question

5. What is the area of a trapezoid with the following measurements? Base 1=15

Answer 1

Answer:

129.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ h(a + b)

where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases

Here h = 7, a = 15 and b = 22 , thus

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 7 × (15 + 22)

   = 0.5 × 7 × 37

   = 129.5
