California Standards AF3.1 Use variables in expressions describing geometric quantities (e.g., P = 2w + 2l, A = bh, C = pd – the formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle, the area of a triangle, and the circumference of a circle, respectively). Also covered: AF1.2, AF3.2 1 2
The two parallel sides of a trapezoid are its bases, b1 and b2. The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the bases. b2 h b1
Reading Math In the term b1, the number 1 is called a subscript. It is read as “b-one” or “b sub-one.”
Additional Example 2: Finding the Area of a Trapezoid A. Find the area of the trapezoid. 1 2 5 in. h(b1 + b2) A = Use the formula. 1 2 · 6(9 + 5) A = Substitute. 6 in. 1 2 Add. · 6(14) A = 9 in. A = 42 Multiply. The area of the trapezoid is 42 in2.
Additional Example 2: Finding the Area of a Trapezoid B. Find the area of the trapezoid. 1 2 h(b1 + b2) A = 12 cm Use the formula. 1 2 · 7(16 + 12) A = 7 cm Substitute. 1 2 Add. · 7(28) A = 16 cm A = 98 Multiply. The area of the trapezoid is 98 cm2.
