Find the area of the trapezoid with questions 25-26

Part 1)

part 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

In this problem we have

----> perpendicular distance between the two bases

substitute

Part 2)

we know that

The area of a kite is equal to

we have

substitute

25) 96 cm²

26)  40.8 ft ²

Step-by-step explanation:

25) To find the area of trapezoid

Area of trapezoid = h(a + b)/2

Here a = 6 + 12 + 2 = 20 cm

b = 12 cm and h = 6

Area =  h(a + b)/2

 = 6(20 + 12)/2

 = 96 cm²

26) To find the area of kite

Area of kite = pq/2

Where p and q are the two diagonals

Here p = 10.2 ft and q = 8 ft

Area = pq/2

 = (10.2 * 8)/2 = 40.8 ft²
