jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Area of trapezoid A = h*(b1+b2)/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

A = area h = height b1 = base1 b2 = base2 base1 and base2 are parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would the next step be, just multiply?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what's the height? what are the two bases?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

height is 45 cm the two bases are 72.1 and 51 cm

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So, h = 45 b1 = 72.1 b2 = 51

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

plug those in and evaluate
