The length of the rectangle is 2xcm, the width is 4cm, the length of the trapezoid is xcm, the length of the bottom is 3 times of the length of the top, and the height is 5cm? How much bigger?

The length of the rectangle is 2xcm, the width is 4cm, the length of the trapezoid is xcm, the length of the bottom is 3 times of the length of the top, and the height is 5cm? How much bigger?

Rectangle area: 2x × 4 = 8xcm2, trapezoid area: 0.5 × (x + 3x) × 5 = 10xcm2, ∵ length: 2xcm, ∵ 10x > 8x, ∵ trapezoid area: 2xcm2, ∵ 10x-8x = 2xcm2, ∵ 2xcm2
