Question

Rick has a table that is shaped like a trapezoid the trapezoid height of 4.4 metres in the bases are 7.4 meters in 6.6 M what is the area of the table

Answer 1

graph the trapezoid with the information given

use the formula for the area of a trapezoid

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

replace data

$\begin{gathered} A=4.4\cdot\frac{(7.4+6.6)}{2} \\ A=4.4\cdot\frac{14}{2} \\ A=4.4\cdot7 \\ A=30.8 \end{gathered}$

The area of the table is 30.8 squared meters.
