The difference between the bases is cm. Consider the two heights (one is already drawn with a dashed line). They divide the trapezoid in three regions: two right triangles and a rectangle.
The right triangle has height cm, and the base is half the difference between the bases, which is cm. So, its area is
cm squared.
There are two of these triangles, so their area sum up to
cm squared.
Finally, the area of the rectangle is easy, since we know width and height:
So, the total area is
cm squared
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting from the top and going clockwise
(3,8)
(0,6)
(0,2)
(1,1)
(3,5)
Area of the square will be x^2
And the perimeter is 4x
We know that x = p/4
As area is x^2 , we can substitute the value of p/4 in x place to get:
(p/4)^2
= p^2/4^2
=p^2/16
So this is the area A In terms of the perimeter p
