Answer:
Area of the trapezoid is 38 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Area of the trapezoid can be found by decomposing it into 2 triangles and a rectangle.
- Step 2: Find area of first triangle. Given base = 5 cm and height = 4 cm
Substitute in formula for area of triangle = 1/2 base * height
Area of triangle, A1 = 1/2 * 5 * 4 = 10 cm²
- Step 3: Find area of rectangle. Given breadth = 4 cm (Same as height of triangles) Length = 6 cm. Substitute in formula for area of rectangle = length * breadth
Area of rectangle, A2 = 4 * 6 = 24 cm²
- Step 4: Find area of second triangle. Given height = 4 cm (same as the other triangle) and base = 2 cm (8 cm - 6 cm)
Substitute in formula for area of triangle = 1/2 base * height
Area of triangle, A3 = 1/2 * 2 * 4 = 4 cm²
- Step 5: Calculate total area = A1 + A2 + A3 = 10 + 24 + 4 = 38 cm²

Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we use Pythagorean's Theorem which states that 
. Plugging in the values of the two legs given, we get 
. We can take the square root of each side and get that 
.
We are given:
There seems to be nothing I can do to simplify this equation. However, I can factor out an 
since they both have at least an . Here is what we get:
This is in the simplest form I can get into. I cannot do anything more to simplify this expression. This is your final answer.
