HELLO I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS QUESTION:

Felix calculated the area of a triangle with a base of 3 inches and a height of 1.5 inches. Edith calculated the area of a trapezoid with a height of 2 inches and parallel bases of 4 inches and 6 inches. Their work is shown below.

Felix's work:
A = 1/2bh
A = 3(1.5)
A = 45 inches2

Edith's work:
A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h
A = (4 + 6)2
A = 20 inches2
What error did they both make in their work?

They didn’t multiply by the base.

They didn’t multiply by the height.

They didn’t multiply by one half.

They didn’t use the right formula.

Respuesta :

Answer:

It is the 3rd choice, They didn't multiply by one half

Felix and Edith didn’t multiply by one-half the actual area of the triangle is 2.25 square inches and the area of the trapezoid is 10 square inches option third is correct.

What is a trapezoid?

It is defined as the quadrilateral having four sides in which two sides are parallel to each other it is a 2-dimensional geometry.

Area for the triangle:

A = (1/2)(b×h)

A = (1/2)(3×1.5)

A = (1/2)(4.5)

A = 2.25 square inches

Area for the trapezoid:

A' = (1/2)(a+b)h

A' = (1/2)(4+6)2

A' = (1/2)(20)

A' = 10 square inches

Thus, Felix and Edith didn’t multiply by one-half the actual area of the triangle is 2.25 square inches and the area of the trapezoid is 10 square inches option third is correct.
