A trapezoid with vertices A(12,8), B(6,12), C(14,16), and D (16,10) What is the area of the trapezoid? 34 square units 42 square units 84 square units 118 square units.

Respuesta :

Answer:

42 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

got it right on edge

The area of trapezoid is 46.95 square unit.

What is trapezoid?

Trapezoids are quadrilaterals that have two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides.

What is the formula for the area of trapezoid?

The formula for the area of trapezoid is given by

[tex]Area = \frac{b_{1} +b_{2} }{2}h[/tex]

Where,

[tex]b_{1}[/tex] and [tex]b_{2}[/tex] is the base

And h is the height

According to the given question.

We have a trapezium ABCD.

In trapezium Sides AD and BC are parallel to each other.

And the length of sides

[tex]AD =b_{1} =\sqrt{(16-12)^{2} +(10-8)^{2} } =\sqrt{20}[/tex]

And,

[tex]BC =\sqrt{(14-6)^{2} +(16-12)^{2} } =\sqrt{80}[/tex]

And height

[tex]h = \sqrt{(16-9)^{2} +(14-14)^{2} } =\sqrt{49} =7[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is given by

[tex]Area =\frac{\sqrt{80} +\sqrt{20} }{2} (7)[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{13.41}{2} (7)[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{93.91}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Area = 46.95 square unit[/tex]

Hence, the area of trapezium is 46.95 square unit.
