When we do this, the base of the parallelogram has length b 1 + b 2, and the height is the same as the trapezoids, so the area of the parallelogram is (b 1 + b 2)*h. Since the two trapezoids of the same size created this parallelogram, the area of one of those trapezoids is one half the area of the parallelogram
Answer:
5 and 9/14
Step-by-step explanation:
convert the numbers into improper fractions
8/7 + 9/2
=
(8 × 2) + (9 × 7)
