Find the AREA of each trapezoid.

22. 23. 24.

25. 26. b1 = 4 mm b2 = 6 mm Convert units first!

height = 1 cm

Given the area, find each base or height.

27. If a trapezoid has an area of 60 ft2 and the lengths 28. If a trapezoid has an area of 135 cm2 and its height
of the bases are 6 ft and 9 ft, find the height. is 10 cm and one base is 12cm, find the other base
length.

Find the height using the Pythagorean Theorem a 2  b2  c 2 . Then, use the height to help find the
AREA of the trapezoid.
29. First, use Pythagorean Theorem to find h.

Now plug in the height and both bases to find the area.

Given the area, find the base or height length of each trapezoid.
