Find the area of the trapezoid in the figure. Explain and show work. Simplify the answer. $2\sqrt{63}$ m $2\sqrt{27}$ m $6\sqrt{3}$ m $7\sqrt{7}$ m Hint: Since this graph doesn't claim it's drawn to-scale, one should assume it's not to-scale. Inspect carefully to verify first that there is no right angle in this trapezoid. Use the Insert Math Equation tool ($\sqrt{x}$ icon) to typeset math equations and expressions.

Step 1
Step 1: The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula: $A = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2)h$ where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the lengths of the parallel sides (bases) and $h$ is the height. Show more…
