anonymous · Answer

well the question is what is the area of this trapezoid so i typed out the answer with the bxh and altitude

anonymous · Answer

nope.. the product of three lengths can't give you area.. actually the area of trapezoid is...

(s1 +s2)/2 *h... but your question doesn't give second side but gives altitude, which basically means height .. So..
