|dw:1360105644063:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Area of Rhombus A = (p*q)/2 where p = length of one diagonal q = length of the other diagonal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 * 7 / 2 = 56 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

perfect

what is the area of trapezoid GHIK >?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Area of Trapezoid A = h*(b1 + b2)/2 where h = height b1 = base1 b2 = base2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

base1 and base2 are parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, one base is 10 and the other is 18 right ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that makes the height to be 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

makes 48 the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ughh i put 48. it was wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes I just said that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you typed it in wrong into your calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1360106649594:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

same thing, but now b1 = 12, b2 = 16, h = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know im sorry, i cant go back

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh and b1 and b2 can be flipped

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ie the order of b1 and b2 doesn't matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

98 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1360106830727:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the length of GH line segment? is this the same thing?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

kinda, but now you're going backwards

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

instead of finding the area with the given bases and height you are finding the missing base given the other base, height and area
