Find the area of a trapezoid with bases that measure 9.2 cm and 7.7 cm, and height 6.8 cm. A. 114.92 cm2 B. 481.7 cm2 C. 57.46 cm2 D. 28.73 cm2
The answer is C) 57.46cm2
To find the area of a trapezoid you add together the parallel lines and times the answer by the height. Then you divide it by 2.
Answer: C. \(57.46\ cm^2\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of trapezoid is given by :-
\(\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}(a+b)h\), where a and b area the bases and h is height of the trapezoid.
Given: The length of the bases are 9.2 cm and 7.7 cm.
The height of the trapezoid = 6.8 cm
Now, the area of a trapezoid will be:-
\(\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}(9.2+7.7)(6.8)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=57.46\ cm^2\)
Hence, the area of a trapezoid = \(57.46\ cm^2\)
