Question

Find the erea of the trapezoid.

Answer 1

Answer:

$40 {in}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$area = \frac{1}{2} (10 + 6) \times 5 \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times 5 \\ = 40 {in}^{2}$

hope this helps you

can I have the brainliest please?

Answer 2

Answer:

40in²

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a trapezoid = $\frac{a+b}{2} h$

where a and b = bases and h = height

the trapezoid has the following dimensions

base 1 = 10 in

base 2 = 6 in

height = 5 in

Using this information, we plug in the values into the formula

So...

$A=\frac{6+10}{2} 5\\6+10=16\\\frac{16}{2} =8\\8*5=40$

Hence the area of the trapezoid is 40 in squared
