The vertical left edge of a trapezoid is 8 inches and meets the bottom edge of the trapezoid at a right angle. The bottom edge is 4 inches and meets the vertical right edge at a right angle. The right edge is 11 inches. The top slanted edge measures 5 inches.
Calculate the area of the trapezoid
like my name says u give me PTSD
I've tried that can you specify the information or like simplify im only 11 years old
They have actually given you more information than needed, but anyway...
Draw a horizontal line at the top of the 8 inch line to meet the 11 inch line
So now you have a rectangle 8 by 4 , and a right-angled triangle with sides 3,4, and 5.
You should know the formulas for finding the area of a rectangle and a triangle. Add them up. Le me know what you got.
Area of a rectangle is length x width, so that is 8 x 4 or 32 square inches,
the triangle is (1/2) x base x height so that is (1/2) x 4 x 3 = 6 square inches
Add the two areas for your final answer.
A figure is composed of a rectangle and a right triangle. The top horizontal edge of the rectangle measures 17 centimeters, the left vertical edge of the rectangle measures 22 centimeters, and the bottom horizontal edge measures 17 centimeters. The left vertical leg is on the right edge of the rectangle, with vertex 10 centimeters below the top right vertex of the rectangle. The bottom horizontal leg of the triangle measures 19 centimeters and shares a vertex with the rectangle at the right angle in the lower right corner.
Calculate the area of the composite figure
thanks but i got another even worse one
sounds to me like
the rectangle is 17x22, so its area is 374
the right triangle has legs 12 and 19, so its area is 114
now just add them up.
plz help
This is what the shape looks like
5 in. ⬇️ :

8 in. ! ! 11 in.

4 in.
and add a diagonal line where it says 5 in.
To calculate the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (a + b) * h / 2
where:
a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezoid,
h is the height (or perpendicular distance) between the parallel sides.
In this case, we can label the sides of the trapezoid as follows:
a = 8 inches (vertical left edge)
b = 11 inches (vertical right edge)
h = 4 inches (bottom edge)
Now, let's calculate the area of the trapezoid using the formula:
Area = (a + b) * h / 2
= (8 + 11) * 4 / 2
= 19 * 4 / 2
= 76 / 2
= 38 square inches
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 38 square inches.
