A trapezoid has a set of parallel bases with lengths 3 inches and 5 inches and a helght of 8 inches. What is the area
1 answer:
Answer:
The area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel base 1 = a = 3 inches
Parallel base 2 = b = 5 inches
Height of trapezoid = 8 inches
We need to find area of trapezoid
The formula used is:
Now putting the values and finding area of trapezoid
So, the area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2

so we have a 60-30-90 triangle (top one)
so since we know 6 is x (the side on the right angle and 60 degrees)
b is 2x or 2(6) = 12
a is x√3 = 6√3
for C I need to use a 45 45 90 triangle
Since b is 12 and its x√2 to find x we should write it as
x√2 = 12
√2 √2 divide by √2
x = 12/√2 but we must rationalize the denominator
12/√2 times √2/√2 = 12√2/2 and that's c
