Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, you must divide the trapezoid into a rectangle and two right triangles. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you would calculate the height of the triangle which is 4. The dimensions of the rectangle are 5 and 4, hence the area will be 20.

Answer:
Recall that the bases are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid. The altitude (or height) of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the two bases. ... The area depends only on the height and base lengths, so as you can see, there are many trapezoids with a given set of dimensions which all have the same area.
