Answer:
7. 91 m²
8. 56 in²
9. 105 in²
10. 135 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
where b is the base length, and h is the height perpendicular to the base.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...
A= 1/2(b1 +b2)h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases, and h is the perpendicular distance between them. Note that this formula is virtually identical to the triangle formula, with the triangle 'b' being replaced by (b1+b2).

Fill in the numbers and do the arithmetic. The result is shown in the attachment. (We have used the triangle formula for all, with b1+b2 being used for 'b' to find the area of the trapezoids.)
7. A = 1/2(14 m)(13 m) = 91 m²
8. 56 in²
9. A = 1/2(14 +16 in)(7 in) = 105 in²
10. 135 m²
