I'm sorry, they way the question is written, it makes no sense.

Perhaps you need to post an image of the question

or include the type of shape you are working on

Answer 2

does this help any?

Answer 3

so then 1/2 +1/4 = .75

Answer 4

divide that by 2 and you will have your area

Answer 5

the formula is

\[A = \frac{1}{2} \times ( b_{1} + b_{2}) \times h\]

great so leave it as a fraction 3/4

now find 1/2 of 3/4 or 1/2 x 3/4 =

leave the answer as a fraction

Answer 6

when you get the answer, to finish multiply by the height h = 1

so Area = 1 x 1/2 x 3/4

Answer 7

is that 3/8 then?

Answer 8

yes the answer is 3/8

thank you so much
