The vertical left edge of a trapezoid is 8 inches and meets the bottom edge of the trapezoid at a right angle. The bottom edge is 4 inches and meets the vertical right edge at a right angle. The right edge is 11 inches. The top slanted edge measures 5 in
Calculate the area of the trapezoid, which is not drawn to scale.
Wat I think:
A=1/2h (5+4)
A=1/2 * 11 * 8 (5 + 4)
A=44*9
A=396in

The area is in inches squared...
Without a diagram... your wording does not provide me with the solution you have...
Answered by oobleck
the bottom edge is the "height" of 4, since it has two right angles.
So, the area is (8+11)/2 * 4 = 38 in^2

Lay the picture on its side, with the 11" base on the bottom, to get the more usual orientation.
