What is the area of a trapezoid with a height of 5 m and bases of 8 m and 1 m?
Solution:
A trapezoid is a flat closed shape quadrilateral in which one pair of opposite sides are parallel.
Given,
height = 5m
base one (b1) = 8m
base two (b2) = 1m
We know that the area of trapezoid = (1/2) × (Sum of parallel sides) × (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides).
Area = (1/2) × (8 + 1) × 5 m = 22.5 m2
Thus, the area of a trapezoid with a height of 5 m and bases of 8 m and 1 m is 22.5 m2.

Summary:
The area of a trapezoid with a height of 5 m and bases of 8 m and 1 m is 22.5 m2.
