lgbasallote · Answer

didn't you just say A = 258?

lgbasallote · Answer

by the way...your formula for area of a trapezoid is wrong. Just saying.

anonymous · Answer

YES A =258

lgbasallote · Answer

and A means area right?

anonymous · Answer

ignore the words, just focus on the solving part lol :)

lgbasallote · Answer

i can't really ignore the words because you can't solve it without the right words

anonymous · Answer

its giving you the #s to plug in but I dont know how to solve it. Thats the formula its giving me .
 the words are just say to find the area. NOT to find A area.

lgbasallote · Answer

what i was saying is that you said A = 1/2 (B + b)

and then you said A = 258

so im asking why are you looking for the area when it is given that A = 258 and i assume A means area

lgbasallote · Answer

and like i said before...your formula is wrong. it should be something like $$A = \frac{h(B+b)}2$$

lgbasallote · Answer

where h = height

.....is what im saying making sense to you?
