Area of trapezium = 1/2 x (sum of parallel sides) x height

anonymous · Answer

i dont understand the diagram..5x is the length of the small side? :O

anonymous · Answer

That doesnt make sense..how can the smaller side be 5x when the longer side is 3x? :O Pretty confusing.

anonymous · Answer

Wait, um....let me redraw it. >_< I did something wrong.

across · Answer

The internal degree of any 4-sided polygon is 360°. You already know two of them are 90°. Therefore 90° + 90° = 180°. Now, can you solve the equation$$5x+3x=180?$$

anonymous · Answer

Across, from the question, she asked for area. Are you asking for area or solving the angles?

anonymous · Answer

I want to know how to solve for the area.
