What is the area of a trapezoid with height 5 m and bases 8 m and 1 m?

a. 6.5 m^2
b. 22.5 m^2
c. 24 m^2
d. 45 m^2

if anyone has the answers to the rest, that would be great!

B. 22.5m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid, you must use the formula:

1/2 × height × (base 1+ base 2)

1. 1/2 × 5m × (8+1)

2. 1/2 x 5m x (9)

3. Switch it around to make it easier to solve

5m × 9× 1/2 (We can do this because of the commutative property.)

4. 45m × 1/2 = 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5m^2

In the context of the problem, this means that the area of the trapezoid is 22.5m^2.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
