2. A garden plot is shaped like a trapezoid. One parallel side is 10 feet long, the other is 16 feet long, and the perpendicular distance between them is 7 feet. What is the area of the garden plot?
3. If a trapezoid has bases of 6 inches and 10 inches, and a height of 4 inches, its area is square inches.
4. The two parallel sides of a trapezoid are called its .
5. Which of the following is the correct formula for the area of a trapezoid?
A = l × w
A = b × h
