Example Question #631 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Quantitative Reasoning
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
(a) and (b) are equal
(b) is the greater quantity
(a) is the greater quantity
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(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.
