D 2 in F 14 in E 2 in C This trapezoid has been divided into two right triangles and a rectangle 12 ini How can the area of the trapezoid be determined using th class=

Respuesta :

To get the area of the rectangular section, multiply its length by its width, as shown below

[tex]A_{\text{rectangle}}=14\cdot12=168[/tex]

The measures of both triangles are identical; therefore,

[tex]A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{1}{2}(2\cdot12)=12[/tex]

Finally, the area of the trapezoid is

[tex]A_{\text{trapezoid}}=A_{\text{rectangle}}+2A_{\text{triangle}}=168+24=192[/tex]

The answers are 168, 12, 12, 192
