Question

Find the area of the given trapezoid: A = ...... square units

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 48 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions between two markings on the coordinate plane = 2 unit

The trapezoid is located sideways

The area of a trapezoid, A = ((a + b)/2) × h

Where;

a = The long base side

b = The short base side

h = The height

The long base side length AT = 4 space between markings = 4 × 2 units = 8 units

The short base side length SR = 2 space between markings = 2 × 2 units = 4 units

The height, h = 4 space between markings = 4 × 2 units = 8 units

The area of the trapezoid, A = ((4 unit + 8 unit)/2) × 8 unit = 48 square units.
