Area of a trapezoid = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the bases) * (height)
Area of the trapezoid = (1/2) * (25 + 15) * 13
Area of the trapezoid = (1/2) * 40 * 13
Area of the trapezoid = 20 * 13
Area of the trapezoid = 260 cm^2
Therefore, the equation to find the area of the front of the handbag is Area = 260 cm^2.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a purse made with a trapezium at the bottom and half loop at the top. The base of the trapezium is 25 centimeters, the upper side is of 15 centimeters and the distance between parallel sides is 13 centimeters.
The picture shows the front panel of a handbag. Substitute the values shown into the formula for the area of a trapezoid to create an equation that can be used to find the area of the front of the handbag. What is the equation?
