What is the area of a trapezoid with height 5 m and bases 8 m and 1 m?

a. 6.5 m^2
b. 22.5 m^2
c. 24 m^2
d. 45 m^2

if anyone has the answers to the rest, that would be great!

B. 22.5m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid, you must use the formula:

1/2 × height × (base 1+ base 2)

1. 1/2 × 5m × (8+1)

2. 1/2 x 5m x (9)

3. Switch it around to make it easier to solve

5m × 9× 1/2 (We can do this because of the commutative property.)

4. 45m × 1/2 = 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5m^2

In the context of the problem, this means that the area of the trapezoid is 22.5m^2.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

nope.   happens to me as well.
