Question

Find the area of a trapezoid in which base1, is 9 units, base2 is 7 units, and the height is 3 units
A) 48 units2 <-- Squared
B) 24 units2 <-- Squared
C) 48 units
D) 24 units

Answer 1

i believe the formula is \[\LARGE A = \frac{h(b_1 + b_2)}{2}\] does that help?

Answer 2

\[A=h(9+7)/2\]

Answer 3

Like that? then wht do I do?

Answer 4

16/2 is whatI'm getting & I know its wrong.

Answer 5

A = 3(9+7)/2

Answer 6

Wait where is the 3 coming from?

Answer 7

height...the h

Answer 8

Oh nvm, forgot that was there.. Sorry

Answer 9

lol :))

Answer 10

So A = 3(9+7)/2
3 (16) /2?

Answer 11

yup simplify

Answer 12

3 (16) /2?

Answer 13

48/2?

Answer 14

yup..divide

Answer 15

Wich is 24

Answer 16

there you go

Answer 17

How can you tell if its squared or not?

Answer 18

\[\LARGE \frac{3 cm \times 16 cm}{2}\] what's cm times cm?

Answer 19

Oh, also how did you come up with 2 for the bottom of the fraction?

Answer 20

it's the formula for area of trapezoid...or are you asking how i typed that?

Answer 21

Nope, you answered my question!
