What's the formula to find the area of a trapezoid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular distance between them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have to find the total area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've got everything else, just not the area of the trap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*1.5*4 ]+[10*3]+ [\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*(5+3)*2]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry , multiply by 2 in the area of triangle, the first one and the last one is trap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I've got that thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How'd you get 1.5 though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

base is equally divided by the perpendicular bisector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay! Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome
