Question

find the area of the trapezoid with height of 8m and base 14m and 19m

Answer 1

\[\large Area = \frac{h(b_1 + b_2)}{2}\]

Answer 2

does that help?

Answer 3

h = height

\(b_1\) and \(b_2\) are the bases

Answer 4

.5 (14+19) = .5(33) =* 16.5 m*

Answer 5

careful..don;t forget to multiply by the height ;)

Answer 6

yes but I don't know where i keep messing up at

Answer 7

substitute the values \[Area = \frac{8(14 + 19)}{2}\] you can divide 8 by 2 right there \[Area = 4(14 + 19)\]\[Area = 4(33)\]

Answer 8

16.5 m * 8 = 132m

Answer 9

now just multiply 4 x 33 and you have your answer ^_^

Answer 10

ok I was multiplying the wrong number which was 19 instead of addding thanks
