Find the area of the isosceles trapezoid below by using the area formulas for rectangles and triangles.

The area of the isosceles trapezoid is 136 cm2

To find the area of the trapezoid, first we need to make an exact triangle to the other side of the trapezoid, just like in the diagram is showing, ( so you will have 2 triangles in the trapezoid, thinks about that the triangle that is on the diagram is reflecting to the other side) then we have a rectangle on the center of the trapezoid, we use the area formula which is would be 8x13=104, then we take the area formula of the triangle and substitute, which would be (1/2)8x4=16, we multiply 16 by 2 to get 32, this would be the area of the two triangles plus the area of the rectangle which is 104 gives a total of 136 cm2

Hope this help!!! :)

Where’s the table? be more specific so we can you
