Answer 1

Answer:

$\sf area \ of \ trapezoid \ =375 \ mm^2$

Explanation:

$\sf area \ of \ trapezoid \ = \dfrac{1}{2} * ( base \ 1 + base \ 2 ) * height$

using the formula:

$\sf area \ of \ trapezoid \ = \dfrac{1}{2} * ( 14+ 36 ) * 15$

$\sf area \ of \ trapezoid \ = \dfrac{1}{2} * ( 50 ) * 15$

$\sf area \ of \ trapezoid \ =25 * 15$

$\sf area \ of \ trapezoid \ =375 \ mm^2$

Answer 2

Solution:

Note that:

• Area of trapezoid = (Sum of its parallel sides)h/2

Use the formula to find the area of the trapezoid.

• (Sum of its parallel sides)h/2
• => (50)15/2
• => (25)15
• => 375 mm²
