What is the area of the above trapezoid?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
To find the area of a trapezoid, multiply one half (or 0.5, since we are working with decimals) by the sum of the lengths of its bases (the parallel sides) by its height (the perpendicular distance between the bases). This quantity is

Cannot be determined from the information provided.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
You recently bought a new bookshelf with a base in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. If the small base is 2 feet, the large base is 3 feet, and the depth is 8 inches, what is the area of the base of your new bookshelf?
To find the area of a trapezoid, we need to use the following formula:
Where a and b are the lengths of the bases, and h is the perpendicular distance from one base to another.
We are given a and b, and then h will be the same as our depth. The tricky part is realizing that our depth is in inches, while our base lengths are in feet. We need to convert 8 inches to feet:
Next, plug it all into our equation up above.
So our answer is:
