Now, plug in the values for the bases and the height to find the area.
Example Question #272 : Plane Geometry
Figure not drawn to scale
Find the perimeter of the trapezoid.
In order to find the perimeter of the trapezoid, you must add up the lengths of all the sides of the trapezoid.
Because the lengths of the trapezoid are in inches, the answer is 40 in.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid
What would you call a polygon with four sides and four angles, all of different measurements?
Rectangle
Square
Rhombus
Quadrilateral
None of these
Quadrilateral
A quadrilateral has four sides and four angles, but no restrictions on how the lengths or measures are related. Thus, quadrilateral is the right answer.
In squares and rectangles, all four angles measure 90 degrees; thus the angles are all of equal measurements, making square and rectangle incorrect answer choices. A rhombus has two sets of angles of equal measurements, and would also be incorrect.
Example Question #272 : Plane Geometry
Mrs. Green's garden is shaped like a trapezoid. She wants to build a fence on the perimeter of her garden. The sides of her garden measure . How long will the fence need to be?
To calculate the perimeter of a trapezoid, find the sum of the four sides.
Example Question #3 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid
The perimeter of a trapezoid is two times the base length plus two times the side lengths. True or False?
True
False
False
Since the two base lengths area not the same length, you must add them separately and not just multiple one of the by two.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid
Figure not drawn to scale
Find the perimeter of the trapezoid.
In order to find the perimeter of the trapezoid, you must add up the lengths of all the sides of the trapezoid.
Because the lengths of the trapezoid are in inches, the answer is
