What is the area of this trapezoid?
Answer:
400cm^2
Step-by-step explanation
equation: a+b/2 x h
19+25/2 x 20
44/2 x 20
22 x 20
440 (don't forget unit) and to square because we are finding the area
The formula of an area of a trapezoid:
[tex]A=\dfrac{base_1+base_2}{2}\cdot height[/tex]
We have
[tex]base_1=25\ cm\\\\base_2=19\ cm\\\\height=20\ cm[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]A=\dfrac{25+19}{2}\cdot20=\dfrac{44}{2}\cdot20=22\cdot20=440\ cm^2[/tex]
