Answer:
Given : A student broke this trapezoid into two triangles.
She says she has enough information to find the area of it.
To Find : Is she correct ?
If Yes then find area
Solution:
Area of Triangle can be found using formula = (1/2) * Base * height
Height in both triangles = 5 in
Base of one triangle = 4 in
Base of other triangle = 6 in
Area of one triangle = (1/2) * 4 * 5 = 10 sq inches
Area of another triangle = (1/2) * 6 * 5 = 15 sq inches
Total area of trapezoid = 10 + 15 = 25 sq inches..
Yes , She is correct
Area = 25 sq inches
