You could use the formulas 1/2(b1 + b2)(h)
Or to understand you could just derive then
Like cut trapezoid into two triangles and one rectangle
And use the triangle and recantangle formula, for triangle make height as height
You understood?
Or you could just google for trapezoid derivation
cut it like this?
That's what I would figure, but I'm not 100% sure.
570?
It can't be I think
AB || CD
But CD input is not given
Which is b1
And you can't do it like that
i think they meant [20*29]/2
Nope
Wdym? Height have to be in the inside the shapes nd parelel sides doesn't even have value like b2 have but b1 nope
you could pythagorean to find base or height, whichever you wanna call it
call it x and it'll just be 1/2 * 20 * x = area of triangle
i mean 29 is hyp
which is why you're right. i mistakenly assumed they meant 1/2 * height * base
I got that answer as well
