The given properties of one pair of parallel sides in the four sided
quadrilateral, indicates that the shape is a trapezium.
Response:
- The area of the shape is 35 square unit
How can the area of the given quadrilateral be calculated?
Given that the side with length 6 is parallel to the side with length 8, we
and that the figure is four sided, we have;
The given figure is a trapezium;
- [tex]Area \ of \ a \ trapezium = \mathbf{ \dfrac{a + b }{2} \times h}[/tex]
Where;
a and b = The lengths of the parallel sides
h = The height of the figure = 5
Which gives;
[tex]Area = \dfrac{6 + 8 }{2} \times 5 = \mathbf{35}[/tex]
- The area of the shape = 35 square unit
