Write and expression to represent the area of a trapezoid, which can be found by multiplying the height of the trapezoid by half of the sum of base1 and base2.

man. you have the formula. Just turn it into math

h*(base1 + base2)/2

Sure, here's an expression that represents the area of a trapezoid:

Area = (Height * (Base1 + Base2)) / 2

But hey, why did the trapezoid start telling jokes? Because it wanted to increase its "base" of humor!

The expression to represent the area of a trapezoid is:

A = (h/2) * (b1 + b2)

Where:
A = Area of the trapezoid
h = Height of the trapezoid
b1 = Length of base 1
b2 = Length of base 2

To represent the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:

Area = (height * (base1 + base2)) / 2

Here's how to derive it:

1. Recall that the formula for the area of a trapezoid is given by A = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height.

2. We can simplify the formula by multiplying height by (base1 + base2) before dividing by 2.

So, the expression to represent the area of a trapezoid is (height * (base1 + base2)) / 2.
