Please find the area of the trapezoids.
By the way, the answer is NOT 10.5.

42 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

The area of a trapezoid can be found using this formula

where a and b are bases and h is height

if you look at the graph we can see that the lines are counting by 2 units

knowing this we want to find the dimensions

the shown trapezoid has the following dimensions

a =2*2 or 4

b=5*2 or 10

h=3*2 or 6

having found this information we then plug it into the formula

so we can conclude that the area of the trapezoid is 42 square units

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
