Question

What is the area of trapezoid DEFG with coordinates D (4, 3), E (4, 0), F (2, 1), and G (2, 3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Our coordinates are

D (4, 3), E (4, 0), F (2, 1), and G (2, 3)

Area of trapezoid= 1/2(a+b)h

Let's define our letters

a = base 1= 3-0=3

b = base 2 = 3-1= 2

h = height = 4-2= 2

Area = 1/2(3+2)2

Area= 1/2(5)2

Area = 5 square unit.
