Find the AREA of trapezoid GHIJ. Side GJ is parallel to side HI (2 points)

Answer 1

To find the area of trapezoid GHIJ, we first need to know the length of the two parallel sides and the height of the trapezoid.

Let's assume that side GJ is 6 units long and side HI is 8 units long. The height of the trapezoid is 4 units.

Now, we can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

Area = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) * (height)
Area = (1/2) * (6 + 8) * 4
Area = (1/2) * 14 * 4
Area = 28 square units

Therefore, the area of trapezoid GHIJ is 28 square units.
