Question

Find the area of the figure shown. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

25.5in²

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral. A trapezoid has at least on pair of parallel sides. the parallel sides are called bases while the non parallel sides are called legs

Characteristics of a trapezoid

It has 4 vertices and edges

If both pairs of its opposite sides of a trapezoid are parallel, it becomes a parallelogram

Area of a trapezoid = (1/2)  x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x height

1/2 x (6 + 11) x 3 = 25.5 in²

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
