ok so there is a TRAPEZOID shaped purse and the top outside of the purse is 31 cm, the bottom outside is 43 cm, and the side is 25 cm what is the cm by the power or 2

To find the area of a trapezoid-shaped purse, you need to use the formula:

Area = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the bases) * (height)

In this case, the top and bottom sides are the bases, so the sum of the lengths of the bases is:

31 cm + 43 cm = 74 cm

Now, we need to find the height of the trapezoid. The height is the length of the side of the purse, which is 25 cm.

Plug in the values into the formula:

Area = (1/2) * 74 cm * 25 cm
Area = 37 cm * 25 cm
Area = 925 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid-shaped purse is 925 cm^2.

tysm hold on i have another question k

You're welcome! Whenever you're ready, feel free to ask your next question.

ok so a jewelry designer has just created a new pair of earrings, each in the shape of a PARALLELOGRAM. The PARALLELOGRAM is 2.5 inches long and has a width of 1 inch. What is the area of the earring? Write your answer in decimal form. inches by the power or 2

To find the area of a parallelogram-shaped earring, you need to use the formula:

Area = base * height

In this case, the base of the parallelogram is the length of the earring which is 2.5 inches, and the height is the width of the earring which is 1 inch.

Plug in the values into the formula:

Area = 2.5 inches * 1 inch
Area = 2.5 square inches

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram-shaped earring is 2.5 square inches.
