Question

Find the area of the trapezoid. 0.5 cm CIEL 13,5 cm 33.75 cm2 O 57.5 cm? 115 cm2 0 23.75 cm2

Answer 1

We will solve as follows:

We replace in the following expression:

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

That is:

$A=\frac{9.5+13.5}{2}(5)\Rightarrow A=\frac{115}{2}\Rightarrow A=57.5$

So, the area of the trapezoid is 57.5 squared centimeters.
