An illustration shows a trapezoid. The top side measures 48 millimeters and the bottom side measures 100 millimeters. A perpendicular dashed line measuring 50 millimeters is drawn from the top left vertex to the bottom side.

To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula: A = (1/2)(a + b)h, where a and b are the lengths of the two parallel sides, and h is the perpendicular height.
In this case, a = 48 mm, b = 100 mm, and h = 50 mm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = (1/2)(48 + 100)(50)
A = (1/2)(148)(50)
A = (74)(50)
A = 3700 mm^2
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 3700 mm^2.

An illustration shows a right trapezoid. The bottom left and top left vertices form right angles. The top side measures 3 meters; the bottom side measures 6 meters; the left side measures 4 meters, and the right side measures 5 meters.

To find the area of the trapezoid, we can divide it into a rectangle and a right triangle, and then find the area of each shape and sum them up.
1. The area of the rectangle:
Since the left side is 4 meters and the top side is 3 meters, the height of the rectangle (which is the same as the right side of the trapezoid) can be calculated as 5 - 3 = 2 meters.
The area of the rectangle is 3 * 2 = 6 square meters.
2. The area of the right triangle:
The base of the right triangle is 3 meters and the height (same as the left side of the trapezoid) is 4 meters.
The area of the right triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 3 * 4 = 6 square meters.
Adding the areas of the rectangle and right triangle:
Area of trapezoid = 6 + 6 = 12 square meters.
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 12 square meters.

To find the area of a trapezoid, we can use the formula:
Area = (1/2)(sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides)(height)
In this case, the top side (a) is 3 meters and the bottom side (b) is 6 meters. The height (h) is the left side, which is 4 meters.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2)(3 + 6)(4)
Area = (1/2)(9)(4)
Area = 4.5 * 4
Area = 18 square meters
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 18 square meters.

To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2)(sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides)(height)
In this case, the bases are 6 meters and 8 meters, and the height is 7 meters.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2)(6 + 8)(7)
Area = (1/2)(14)(7)
Area = 7 * 14
Area = 98 square meters
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 98 square meters.

I apologize for the error. Let's calculate the area of the trapezoid again using the correct values given:
Base 1 (b1) = 6 meters
Base 2 (b2) = 8 meters
Height (h) = 7 meters
Using the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
Area = (1/2)(b1 + b2)(h)
Area = (1/2)(6 + 8)(7)
Area = (1/2)(14)(7)
Area = 7 * 14
Area = 98 square meters
Therefore, the correct area of the trapezoid is 98 square meters.
