Question

pre-algebra ic sem 2 fall 2025
semester a
what is the area of the trapezoid?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a trapezoid

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is \( A=\frac{(b_1 + b_2)h}{2} \), where \( b_1 \) and \( b_2 \) are the lengths of the parallel sides (bases), and \( h \) is the height.

Step2: Identify the values of \( b_1 \), \( b_2 \), and \( h \)

From the problem, \( b_1 = 6\) in, \( b_2=10\) in, and \( h = 7\) in.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula
