OpenStudy (zyberg):

You need to remember how to calculate area of each geometric figure. ;) Triangle (figure A) - \(A = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*h*base\) Square (figure B) - \(A = a*b\) where a and b are different sides of the figure Trapezoid (figure C and D) - \(A = \frac{ (a + b)}{ 2 }*h\)

OpenStudy (zyberg):

Oh, and for trapezoid a and b are the bases

I'm not following...

OpenStudy (zyberg):

I gave you the formulas used to calculate area of each figure. I specified which formula corresponds to which figure.
