What is the area of this trapezoid?

357 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, were asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. Remember that a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below

The b's are the bases or the parallel sides and the h represents the height.

So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 15 cm and 27 cm and the height is 17 cm.

Plugging this information into the formula, we have .

Next, the order of operations tells us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 15 cm + 27 cm is 42 cm and we have

1/2 × 42 cm is 21 cm and we have (21 cm)(17 cm) which is 357 cm².

So the area of the trapezoid shown is 357 cm².

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
