Answer 3

57?

Answer 4

now, how did you get that?

Answer 5

no*

Answer 6

what is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Answer 7

1/2 (b1+b2)*h

Answer 8

good, so what did you plug into that?

Answer 9

actually it should be\[\frac12(h_1+h_2)b\]since our trapezoid has two heights

Answer 10

please you have to do the same with the remaining trapezoids as @TuringTest has made

Answer 11

i dont get the next step, thats why i asked you lmao

Answer 12

area=\[(5-2)*\frac{ 2+5 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 21 }{ 2 }=10.5\]
