Question

Find the area of the trapezoid in the figure below round your final answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer: 60.9 u^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated as seen in the attachment.

Thus:

$A = \frac{3.7+14.2}{2} * 6.8\\A = \frac{17.9}{2} *6.8\\A = 8.95*6.8\\A = 60.86\\Round\\\left[\begin{array}{c}A=60.9\end{array}\right]$

Answer 2

Answer:

60.9 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the formula for the area of a trapezoid is,

$\frac{b1+b2}{2} h$

So b1 and b2 are 142 and 3.7,

14.2 + 3.7 = 17.9

17.9 ÷ 2 = 8.95

8.95 × 6.8 = 60.86

60.9 units^2 rounded to the nearest tenth.

Thus,

the area of the trapezoid is 60.9 units^2.

Hope this helps :)
