Kristy are you here ? i like help you - please come and collaborate
Yeah I am here
ok so than you check this trapezoid so you see there two triangle on the right and left part and in the midle part a rectangle yes ? so do you know the necessary formule for the areas of these form ?
how you calcule area of a triangle ?
A_triangle = base time height divide 2 yes ?
us this formula and calcule the area of these triangles
courage - i m here to help you
Yes that is the formula
can you us it ?
us it?
using it
the base is 7 and the height is 8 just substitute these inside formula and make the calcule and so will get the areaof a triangle
No, I don't completely know how to use it. this is the last question. The formula
the formula is what i ve wrote above for area of triangle
Okay thank you so much!
A_triangle = base time height divide 2 calcule this please
So 28?
yes very nice but there are two triangles with this area so when you calcule area of this trapezoid so you need multiply thisn 28 by 2 yes ?
Okay so 56?
yes sure so but there is in the midle part of this trapezoid a rectangle - yes ?
yeah
do you know formula for area of a rectangle ?
No, sorry
A_rectangle = length time width yes ?
Okay thank you
so 8 times 3
so 8 times 3
so area of this rectangle will be ?
yes sure
8*3 = ?
24
yes this is easy
So it's 56 + 24 = 80? 80 is the area?
yes sure 80 is area of trapezoid was difficile ?
