Question

Does anyone wanna help a gal out with this 6th grade work due today

Answer 1

Answer:

2 - 30ft²

3 - 57yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

The first step in solving this problem is finding the formula for area of a trapezoid

$A = \frac{a+b}{2} h$

a = base 1

b = base 2

h = height

For the first one the dimensions are

a = 6

b = 9

h = 4

now we just plug in the values

$A=\frac{6+9}{2} 4\\6+9=15\\\frac{15}{2}=7.5\\7.5*4=30$

so the area of the first trapezoid is 30 ft²

For the second one the given dimensions are

a = 8

b = 11

h = 6

now we just plug in the values

$A=\frac{8+11}{2} 6\\8+11=19\\\frac{19}{2} =9.5\\9.5*6=57$

so the area of the second trapezoid is 57 yd²
