What is the area of the trapezoid Pls explain and pls no absurd answers I will mark brainliest and thanks in advance class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

by using Pythagoras law

height =√{10²-(26-14)²}=±2√11=+2√11

the area of the trapezoid=1/2 height (side1+side2]

=1/2 ×2√11 (14+26)=132.66unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

greater than 132.66unit² is 160 unit² so answer is 160unit²

Answer:

  • B. 160 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given isosceles trapezoid

First find the base of the triangle with side of 10 and dotted segment (h):

  • b = 1/2(26 - 14) = 6 units

Find the height of the trapezoid, use Pythagorean:

  • h = [tex]\sqrt{10^2 - 6^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{64}[/tex] = 8 units

Find the area of the trapezoid:

  • A = 1/2(26 + 14)(8) = 160 unit²

Correct choice is B
