Question

find the area of a trapezoid with given measures.

Answer 1

we use the formula of the areaq of a trapezoid

$A=\frac{(b1+b2)\times h}{2}$

then replacing

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{(3.5+6.5)\times8.4}{2} \\ \\ A=\frac{10\times8.4}{2} \\ \\ A=\frac{84}{2}=42 \end{gathered}$

area of the trapezoid is 42 square centimeters
