Compose the trapezoid into a parallelogram what is the area of the trapezoid The area of a trapezoid found by composing a trapezoid into a parallelogram is (. )ft squared

9514 1404 393

  26 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

When two of the trapezoids are combined to make a parallelogram, the height remains the same (4 ft), but the width is the sum of the base lengths, 10 ft + 3 ft = 13 ft.

The area of the combined trapezoids is ...

  A = bh = (13 ft)(4 ft) = 52 ft^2

The area of one trapezoid is half that, so is ...

  A = (52 ft^2)/2 = 26 ft^2 . . . . area of the trapezoid

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
