There is exactly 1 pair of parallel sides in the following shape. What is the area of the shape? The top base is 6. The bottom base is 8. The height is 5.

Answer 1

The shape you are describing is known as a trapezoid.

To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the formula:

Area = (Top base + Bottom base) x Height / 2

Plugging in the values given in the problem, we get:

Area = (6 + 8) x 5 / 2
Area = 7 x 5
Area = 35

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 35 square units.

Answer 2

Yup! 35 thanks!
