Question

practice using areas and perimeters of trapezoids, rhombi, and kites. hien would like to estimate the area of nevada using a trapezoid. she uses the dimensions shown as approximations. what is the approximate area of nevada? sq. mi

Explanation:

Step1: Find the height of the trapezoid

The height \(h\) of the trapezoid is \(320\) mi. The two parallel sides \(a = 207\) mi and \(b=483\) mi.

Step2: Use the trapezoid area formula

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is \(A=\frac{(a + b)h}{2}\). Substitute \(a = 207\), \(b = 483\) and \(h=320\) into the formula:
