Yvonne cut a picture into the shape of a trapezoid to place into her scrapbook. The picture is shown. What is the area of the picture?

Answer: the triangular part of the trapezoid has an area of 7.5. the rectangular part has an area of 20.
20 + 7.5 = 27.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 27.5 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is given by :-
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{height}\times(\text{sum of parallel sides})[/tex]
From the given picture, the measure of the parallel sides are 4 in. and 7 in.
and height (distance between parallel sides) = 5 in.
Then, the area of a trapezoid will be :-
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)\times(4+7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ A=27.5[/tex]
Hence, the area of the picture = 27.5 square inches.
