Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Trapezoid
Note: Figure NOT drawn to scale
The above figure shows Square .
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The area of Trapezoid
(b) The area of Trapezoid
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(a) is the greater quantity
(b) is the greater quantity
(a) and (b) are equal
(a) is the greater quantity
The easiest way to answer the question is to locate on
such that
:
Trapezoids and
have the same height, which is
. Their bases, by construction, have the same lengths -
and
. Therefore, Trapezoids
and
have the same area.
Since , it follows that
, and
. It follows that Trapezoid
is greater in area than Trapezoids
and
, and Trapezoid
is less in area.
