since i cant put this picture on here
what is the area of a trapezoid with this on it
8 cm, 5 cm, 4 cm,6 cm and 11 cm??
please help me find it!
A = (a + b)/2 * h

thanks Ms Sue ! :)
You're welcome, Laila.
have a nice day Ms Sue thanks for the help today!
You're welcome. And enjoy the rest of your day, too, Laila.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) × (a + b) × h
where:
- "a" and "b" are the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezoid
- "h" is the height or the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides
In this case, you have the lengths of the parallel sides: 8 cm and 11 cm. Now, we need to find the height.
To find the height of the trapezoid, let's analyze the given information.
You mentioned five measurements: 8 cm, 5 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm, and 11 cm.
However, we need more information to determine the height. One way to find the height is if there is a perpendicular line segment from one base (parallel side) to the other base. So, if there is any additional information regarding the trapezoid or any perpendicular line segment, please provide it.
Once we have the height determined, we can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the area of the trapezoid.
