How can I do 8-11?
What method, or formula should I use?
#79 Re: Help Me ! » Areas of Polygons and Area Review help! » 2013-11-02 23:23:02
No problem!
Okay so number 7 is:
7. A trapezoid where the height = 7 mm, base 1 = 26 mm and base 2 = 9 mm.
A 178.06 sq mm
B 122.5 sq mm
C 216 sq mm
D 230 sq mm
E 28.9 mm
F 510 mm
a = {(26 + 9) * 7} / 2
a = 122.5 mm
My answer is B
Right?
Mathew

Okay so I have to do
6. a= (b1 * b2 * h)/2
a = (16 * 8 * 18)/2
a = 2304/2
a = 1152
I used the formula, but it doesn't match any of the answers. What did I do wrong
Mathew,

I think I'm gonna need some help. From where do I get b1, b2 and the height. All they give me is the length of the side.
Mathew,

Thanks for the answers! But I don't know what formula or what technique I have to use, if you could tell me it. I would figure them out by myself.
Thanks!

Hi,
So I don't really get the concept of the lesson. If you guys could help me that'd be great! 
I didn't put 18, 19, and 20 because there's a picture attached, if you guys could help me with these 17 first it'd love that. Thanks!
