Area of a Trapezoid Quiz

What is the formula for calculating the area of a trapezoid?

• length of one side multiplied by height

• height divided by the sum of parallel sides

• (1/2) * (sum of parallel sides) * (height)

• sum of all sides multiplied by height

If the bases of a trapezoid are 5 cm and 9 cm, and the height is 4 cm, what is the area of the trapezoid?

• 35 cm²

• 13 cm²

• 28 cm²

• 20 cm²

How do you find the height of a trapezoid if the area and the lengths of the bases are given?

• Use the formula: height = 2 * area / (length of base 1 + length of base 2)

• height = area / (length of base 1 + length of base 2)

• height = area * (length of base 1 + length of base 2)

• height = area - (length of base 1 + length of base 2)

If the area of a trapezoid is 48 square units and the height is 6 units, what is the sum of the lengths of the bases?

• 10

• 20

• 15

• 25

What is the area of a trapezoid with bases of length 12 cm and 8 cm, and a height of 10 cm?

• 120 cm²

• 80 cm²

• 100 cm²

• 50 cm²

If the area of a trapezoid is 35 square units and the length of one base is 7 units, what is the length of the other base?

• 5 units

• 15 units

• 10 units

• 20 units

Explain how to solve for the height of a trapezoid using the area and the lengths of the bases.

• height = area / (sum of the lengths of the bases)

• height = (area) / (difference of the lengths of the bases)

• height = (area) * (difference of the lengths of the bases)

• height = 2 * (area) / (sum of the lengths of the bases)

If the area of a trapezoid is 72 square units and the height is 8 units, what is the average length of the bases?

• The average length of the bases is 12 units.

• The average length of the bases is 6 units.

• The average length of the bases is 20 units.

• The average length of the bases is 18 units.

What real-life problems can be solved using the concept of the area of a trapezoid?

• Medical diagnosis and treatment

• Astronomy and space exploration

• Construction, architecture, and engineering problems

• Cooking and baking recipes

If the area of a trapezoid is 60 square units and the length of one base is 10 units, what is the length of the other base if the height is 6 units?

• The length of the other base is 8 units.

• The length of the other base is 20 units.

• The length of the other base is 14 units.

• The length of the other base is 5 units.
