Question

The following diagram shows that the state of Nevada is shaped somewhat like a trapezoid. Which measurement is the approximate area of the state of Nevada 320 miles, 200 miles, and 480 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

$110,400\ mi^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}[b_1+b_2]h$

where

b_1 and b_2 are the length of the parallel bases

h is the height (perpendicular distance between the parallel bases)

we have

$b_1=210\ mi\\b_2=480\ mi\\h=320\ mi$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}[210+480]320=110,400\ mi^2$
