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.
My answer : (5+4) divided by 1/2 x 11 (h) = 49.5

    Nope, 
area = (1/2)(sum of the two parallel sides)(distance between them)
= (1/2)(8+11)(4) =
notice the top slanted edge being 5 in does not enter the picture and was not needed
