Question

A trapezoid has base lengths of 3 meters and 1.5 meters. If the height of the trapezoid is 2 meters, what is the area of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of trapezoid = 4.5 Square meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Trapezoid bases = 3 meter and 1.5 meters

Height of trapezoid = 2 meter

Find:

Area of trapezoid

Computation:

Area of trapezoid = (1/2)(Sum of parallels side)(Height)

Area of trapezoid = (1/2)(3 + 1.5)(2)

Area of trapezoid = (1/2)(4.5)(2)

Area of trapezoid = 9 / 2

Area of trapezoid = 4.5 Square meter
