What is the area of trapezoid DEFG with coordinates D (2, 3), E (5, 3), F (3, 1), and G (2, 1)?2 square units3 square units4 square units8 square units

Respuesta :

Start by graphing the points and joining them together

After joining them we can divide the figure into 2 figures.

find the area for both figures apart and then add them together

rectangle

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=2\cdot1 \\ A=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

triangle

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=2\cdot\frac{2}{2} \\ A=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Add both areas togethe

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_t=2+2 \\ A_t=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The area of the trapezoid is 4 square units
