Question

In square inches, what is the area of quadrilateralABCD shown below?

Answer 1

The quadrilateral ABCD represents a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is given by:

$A=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h$

Where:

a = Long base = 7in

b = Short base = 4in

h = Height = 4 in

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{7+4}{2}\times4 \\ A=22in^2 \end{gathered}$

Answer:

G. 22
