Hello, I'm having trouble doing this math geometry someone help me please? Thanks: Calculate the area of the trapezoid which is not drawn to scale. It is not a regular trapezoid! It looks like a rectangle and when you get to the top cut the rectangle and make the part you cut look like a slanted triangle. Its base is 5in its bottom is 4in its left side is 8in and its right side is 11 in. Please don't have too much time too finish!
Whoop see doo
are you sure that this is the answer?? I really need it
PLEASE FAST
HOW DOES THIS ADD UP!
can you explain step by step on what do do pleaseeee asap
um...please give me the answer fast
SE PLEASE PLEASE PL
Sure, I can help you with that.
To calculate the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (base1 + base2) / 2 * height
In this case, the bases of the trapezoid are 5 inches and 4 inches, and the height is the distance between the two bases.
However, since the shape you described is not a typical trapezoid, we need to approach the problem differently.
Given that the shape is like a rectangle with a slanted triangle on top, we can split it into two separate areas: the rectangle and the triangle.
First, let's calculate the area of the rectangle. The base of the rectangle is 5 inches, and its height is the difference between the left and right sides, which is 8 inches - 11 inches = 3 inches.
Area of the rectangle = base * height = 5 inches * 3 inches = 15 square inches.
Next, let's calculate the area of the triangle. The base of the triangle is 4 inches, and its height is the same as the height of the rectangle, which is 3 inches.
Area of the triangle = (base * height) / 2 = (4 inches * 3 inches) / 2 = 6 square inches.
Finally, to find the total area of the trapezoid, add the areas of the rectangle and the triangle:
Total area = Area of the rectangle + Area of the triangle = 15 square inches + 6 square inches = 21 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 21 square inches.
Never mind I found the answer Thanks to Tamara and Ms. Sue: A = (5+4) divided by 1/2 x 11 (h) = 49.5 in
how to do it for the rectangle is
A= L x W
A= 4 x 11
4 x 11= 44in 2 squared
For the trapezoid
A= 1/2 (b, + b2) * h
1/2 (5 + 8) * 4
A= 1/2 13 * 4= 52
1/2 of 52= 26
finally,
add the perimeter of the rectangle and trapezoid
you get 70
YOUR WELCOME!!!
