A trapezoid has an area of 64 square centimeters, a top bottom of 3 centimeters and a height of 16 centimeters

A trapezoid has an area of 64 square centimeters, a top bottom of 3 centimeters and a height of 16 centimeters

Let X. (3 + x) * 16 / 2 = 64
The bottom is 5

If the height of a trapezoid increases by 4cm, the area of the trapezoid increases by 12cm. If the height increases by 4cm, the area increases by 16cm

Height = 12 × 2 △ 4 = 6cm
Upper bottom + lower bottom = 16 × 2 △ 4 = 8 cm
Area = 8 × 6 × 1 / 2 = 24 square meters

The area of the new trapezoid () the area of the original trapezoid

The area of the new trapezoid is equal to that of the original trapezoid
