jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

base1 = 9.5 b1 = 9.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

base2 = 22.5 b2 = 22.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

height = 8 h = 8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we'll be using b1 = 9.5 b2 = 22.5 h = 8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in the formula A = h*(b1+b2)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so what do you get when you do this?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

A = h*(b1+b2)/2 A = 8*(9.5 + 22.5)/2 A = ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

at this point, you just use your calculator to evaluate 8*(9.5 + 22.5)/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you have a calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
