@Jamierox4ev3r How do I solve this one? Do I use A=1/2(b1+b2)h to every side in order to find the area?

Answer 2

not quite

Answer 3

Hey narissa, you only need to use the formula once. Do you know what your values are?

Answer 4

recall that:
a is the top base
b is the bottom base
h is the height.

This formula applies to the entire trapezoid, not just each side
