Question

Find the areas of the following geometric figure.

Find the area of a trapezoid whose parallel sides measure 8.5 m and 4.5 m, and whose altitude is 6.5 m.

To the nearest tenth, area =          m2.

$\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}=\cfrac{altitude}{2}(\textit{parallel side}1+\textit{parallel side}2)
\ \quad \
or Area=\cfrac{h}{2}(base1+base2)$
