The Area A of a trapezoid is one-half the height h times the sub of the bases, b 1 and b 2. Write an expression for the area of the trapezoid. 3x - 7 x + 2 2x + 1 h = x + 2 b 1 = 3x - 7 b 2 = 2x + 1 A = ½h(b 1 +b 2 ) = ½(x+2)[(3x - 7)+(2x +1)] = ½(x+2)(5x - 6) = ½[x(5x) + x(- 6) + 2(5x) + 2(-6)] = ½(5x 2 - 6x + 10x -12) = ½(5x 2 + 4x -12)
The Area A of a triangle is one-half the height h times the base. Write an expression for the area of the triangle. 6x+4 X-7
