Question

Find the areas of the trapezoids

Answer 1

Answer:

figure 1 - 10.5 unit^2

figure 2 - 12 unit^2

Step-by-step explanation:

figure 1

1. find the area of the rectangle

3*2 = 6 unit^2

2. find the area of the triangle

(3*3)/2 = 4.5 unit^2

3. add the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle together. The sum would be the area of the trapezoid.

6 + 4.5 = 10.5 unit^2

figure 2

1. find the area of the rectangle

2*4 = 8 unit^2

2. find the area of both triangles

(1*4)/2 = 2 unit^2

3. add the area of the rectangle and the area of both triangles together. The sum would be the area of the trapezoid.

8 + 2 + 2 = 12 unit^2
