Question

Find the area of a trapezoid with a height of 6 m and bases of 13 m and 26 m.
45 square meters
58.5 square meters
234 square meters
117 square meters
2028 square meters

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:
\[A = \frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h\]
so just plug in your values and we get:
\[A = \frac{1}{2}(26+13)(6) = 117\]
