Question
COORDINATE GEOMETRY Find the area of trapezoid $P Q R T$ given the coordinates of the vertices.$$P(-4,-5), Q(-2,-5), R(4,6), T(-4,6)$$
Step 1
The bases of the trapezoid are the parallel sides. In this case, the bases are the lines PQ and RT. The height of the trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the bases, which is the line segment PR or QT. Show more…
