All that was provided was this picture right here, but then nothing else.
00:05
So i figured that maybe you wanted help or information on how to solve the area of a trapezoid.
00:12
So i have a couple of different examples here.
00:15
So the first example is already done for us, and it uses the formula of b1 plus b2, multiply by one -half times the height.
00:26
Okay.
00:27
But your theorem, i love your theorem so much better.
00:30
Because students do better with the base on the top, base plus base on the bottom, so b1 plus b2, divided by 2 and then times h.
00:39
So let's put this into play.
00:43
So we'll do this one first.
00:45
This is a trapezoid, even though it doesn't have another triangle attached to it.
00:52
So we're going to do 13 plus 19 divided by 2 times the height.
00:59
That is the vertical height, not the slant height of eight feet.
01:06
So i'm going to do 13 plus 19.
01:10
That is 32 divided by 2 times 8.
01:14
So 32 divided by 2 is 16.
01:17
Then i'm going to do 16 times 8, and that's 128 feet squared...
