Read each question carefully and calculate the area of the trapezoids. Remember the formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 0.5 × (b1 + b2) × h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases and h is the height.
1. What is the area of a trapezoid with base 1 = 4 cm, base 2 = 6 cm, and height = 3 cm?
2. If a trapezoid has base 1 = 7 inches, base 2 = 9 inches, and a height of 2 inches, its area is square inches.
3. The area of a trapezoid with bases of 5 meters and 10 meters, and a height of 4 meters, is square meters.
4. Which of the following formulas is used to find the area of a trapezoid?
A = l × w
A = 0.5 × b × h
A = 0.5 × (b1 + b2) × h
A = πr²
5. A trapezoid always has two pairs of parallel sides.
True
False
6. A garden is shaped like a trapezoid. The parallel sides are 10 feet and 14 feet long. The height of the garden is 5 feet. What is the area of the garden?
