What is the area of the trapezoid? explain and show the work that comes with it and use clear words don’t use the (text))

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula

... A = (1/2)(b₁+b₂)h

where b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the parallel bases and h is the perpendicular distance between them.

Your diagram shows b₁ = 6 m + 1 m = 7 m and b₂ = 5 m. (It does not matter which you call b₁ or b₂.) The diagram also shows h = 3 m, the distance between the bases. (A proper diagram would indicate the dashed line is at right angles to the bases.)

Using this information in the formula, you have

... A = (1/2)·(7m + 5m)·(3 m)

... = (1/2)·(12 m)·(3 m)

... = 18 m²

The area of this trapezoid is 18 square meters.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.

a - base

b - exponent
