SO do you know the formula of this shape, which is trapeziod?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nope i so confused with it .
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
|dw:1431994185087:dw| \(\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}=\cfrac{h}{2}(base1\cdot base2)\)
OpenStudy (lizz123):
Okay the formula is \[A=\frac{ a+b }{ 2 }h\]

I got no idea what that means or where to start..
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hmmm actaully that's .. right so... should be rather \(\large \bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}=\cfrac{h}{2}(base1 + base2)\)
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
start off by getting the bases
OpenStudy (anonymous):
...?
OpenStudy (lizz123):
So mostly you have A= base 1 and B= Base two. Which two bases are in the trapezoid.

Look at the trapezoid.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know 1 witch is 6in
OpenStudy (lizz123):
Yes one of the bases is 6in now find the other base.
OpenStudy (lizz123):
\[A=\frac{ 6+b }{ 2 }h\]

8?

OpenStudy (lizz123):
Yes
OpenStudy (lizz123):
\[A=\frac{ 6+8 }{ 2 }h\] Now what is the height.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7????????
OpenStudy (lizz123):
No, it is on the trapeziod you dont need to do any math yet.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh im confused again

Look at that real quick.
OpenStudy (lizz123):
What is 10in?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
highth?
OpenStudy (lizz123):
yes so on the formula that would be h.
So now the formula would be:
\[A=\frac{ 6+8 }{ 2 }10\]

OpenStudy (lizz123):
So now you solve that.
What is 8+6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
14
OpenStudy (lizz123):
14 divide by 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7
OpenStudy (lizz123):
Multiply that by the height. What would be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the area is 70?
OpenStudy (lizz123):
yes, would be the answer
OpenStudy (lizz123):
Do you need any other help.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes one more if you dont mind.
OpenStudy (lizz123):
sure

hint: the distance around those curved edges will be equal to
\[\Large \frac{\pi*r}{2}\]
where r is the radius of the circle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
.? i need more explaining..
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
the symbol \(\Large \pi\) is pi, approximately the number 3.14

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh wait I made a typo
OpenStudy (lizz123):
R stands for radius
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it should be \[\Large \frac{2*\pi*r}{2} = \pi*r\]
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
anyways, if you had a radius of say 10, then the distance around the curve would be approximately pi*r = 3.14*10 = 31.4
