Question

Trapezoid area calculations

Answer 1

#1

- 1/2(Sum of parallel sides)Height=Area

Area

- 1/2(6+14)(5.5)
- 1/2(20)(5.5)
- 10(5.5)
- 55in²

#2

Apply Pythagorean theorem

- B²=14²-12²=196-144=52
- B\approx 7

Area

- 1/2(52+8)(12)
- 6(60)
- 360yd²

#3

Area

- 1/2(Diagonals)
- 1/2(6+6)(9+3)
- 1/2(12)12)
- 6(12)
- 72ft²

Answer 2

To do this you have to use the formula
A=1/2•(b1+b2)•h so for the first one it would be
A=1/2•(14+6)•5.5 which equals 55
