Question

Find the areas of the trapezoids.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 sq. un

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The height is 3 units, the base is 4 units, and the other base is 1 unit.

Using the trapezoid area formula, $A = \frac12(b_1+b_2)h$,  we can plug the values in and solve.

Solve:

• $A = \frac12(b_1+b_2)h$
• $A = \frac12(1 + 4)3$
• $A = \frac12(5)(3)$
• $A = 2.5(3)$
• $A = 7.5$

The area is 7.5 sq. un
