Given a rhombus is special type of trapezoid, which of the following shows the formula to find area of a trapezoid correctly filled in?

Respuesta :

ryleej23

A=1/2(b1-b2)xh

That should be the formula.

Answer:

1/2 h (b1+b2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus is a special type of trapezoid.  

Bases are b1 and b2 and height is h

Applying the same formula for trapezium,

we get area of a rhombus

= 1/2 h (b1+b2)

So answer is

area of a rhombus =  1/2 h (b1+b2)

where h is the height and b1 and b2 are one pair of parallel sides

(h is the distance between the pair of parallel sides)
