What is the area of the trapezoid abcd

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Trapezoid is given as :

( sum of the parallel sides) X height

We need to get the height ,and the parallel sides.

To calculate the height , all we need to do is to find the distance between the points A(-2,2) and B(2,5) using the formula for calculating distance which iis given by:

D =

Substituting the values , h = 5

Also to find the first parallel side BC , we will apply the same formula and this will give 15 , doing the same to find the second parallel side , we have 5. Substituting the values into the formula for finding area of Trapezoid , we have:

A = ( 15 + 5) X 5

A = ( 20 ) X 5

A = 50
