108 is Triangle 64 Is the Trapezoid Add them together, you get 172. 172 is my answer @mathstudent55 !

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The triangle is 108. That is correct. How did you get the area of the trapezoid?

jabez177 (jabez177):

14 + 18 divided by 2 x 4

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're on the right track, but you made a small arithmetic error. What is the height of the trapezoid? What is 17 cm - 12 cm = ? |dw:1428100114477:dw|
