Answer as a fraction = 1/2

Answer as a decimal = 0.5

Answer as a percent = 50%

========================================

Explanation:

There are 5 blue rectangles out of 10 total. This forms the fraction 5/10 and that reduces to 1/2 after dividing both parts by 5. Therefore, the fractions 5/10 and 1/2 are the same. Notice that exactly half of the entire figure is shaded blue.

Use long division or your calculator to find that 1/2 = 0.5 which converts to 50% when you move the decimal point 2 spots to the right.

How do I find the area of a trapezoid?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is found with the formula, A=(a+b)/2 x h. Learn how to use the formula to find area of trapezoids.

The two parallel sides are the bases, and height, as always, is the perpendicular distance from one base to the opposite. The area of this parallelogram is its height (half-height of the trapezoid) times its base (sum of the bases of the trapezoid), so its area is half-height × (base1 + base2).
