Answer:
Area of trapezoid = 19.84 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of trapezoid = (b1+b2)/2 * Height
to find the height we have to use the Pythagorean formula for the left triangle
[tex]X^2 + Y^2 = Hypotenuse^2[/tex]
we sub the values in the formula
[tex]3^2 = Y^2 + 4^2[/tex]
Y = [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] which the height of the triangle
now we sub the values in the trapezoid formula
Area of trapezoid = (5+10)/2 * sqrt{7}
Area of trapezoid = 19.84 in^2
