Question

What is the area of the trapezoid below?

Answer 1

Area of a trapezoid = 1/2 (b1 + b2) h so, simply identify the bases and the height!

Answer 2

height is 24; base1 is 9 ; base2 is 2 ;

Answer 3

area = 1/2 (11)(24) = 132

(incidentally, you could check your answer by finding the area of the triangle and the area of the rectangle and adding those together...)
