Given:
Base 1 = 15cm
Base 2 = 22cm
Height = 7cm
Determine the area of the trapezoid.
Formula for the area of the trapezoid.
A = ((a + b)/2)h
Solution:
Substitute the values of the base 1, base 2 and height of the trapezoid, to the formula for the area of the trapezoid.
A = ((15 + 22)/2)7
A = (37/2)7
A = (18.5 cm)(7cm)
A = 129.5 cm^2
Final answer:
The area of the trapezoid is 129.5 cm^2.
