Read each question carefully and calculate the area of each trapezoid. Remember the formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases and h is the height.
1. Calculate the area of the trapezoid below:
Area =
2. In the trapezoid formula A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h, 'h' stands for the and 'b1' and 'b2' stand for the .
