3. Find the area of this trapezoid
A right trapezoid has a base of 15^2 units side 1 being 4^2 units and side 2 being 3^2 units
40 square units
105 square units
180 square units
52.5 square units
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height
In this case, base1 = 4^2 = 16 units, base2 = 3^2 = 9 units, and height = 15 units. Plug these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (16 + 9) * 15
Area = (1/2) * 25 * 15
Area = 12.5 * 15
Area = 187.5 square units
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 187.5 square units.
None of the given answer choices are correct, the closest one is 180 square units, but the correct answer is 187.5 square units.
