Question

On a boat, a cabin's window is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, as shown below. What is the area of the window?

An isosceles trapezoid with top side 10 inches long and a longer bottom side. The height is 14 inches. The base of the triangle formed from the height on the right is labeled 4 inches.

Answer 1

pls solve

Answer 2

a= 10 inches and b= 3+3+10=16 inches and h=15 inches. 1/2 (10+16)(15)=1/2 (26)(15) =195 sq inches

Answer 8

@supie do you see what's the problem ? bc. this is an isoscele trapezoid so the bottom side will be 10+4+4 = 18

and the height on the posted image is 14 too

Answer 9

It's asking for the area.

I thought in order to find the area of a trapezoid I have to do the add the parallel sides together then multiply that by the height so in that case it would be

\((10+8)*14\)

Right?
