Answer: 1) 76.5 cm²
2) 35.07 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The area of a trapezoid is A = (B + b)h/2
A = (11.5+6.5).8.5/2 = 18 . 8.5/2 = 153/2 = 76.5 cm²
2) For the pentagon, as it is a regular pentagon, we can divide it into 2 shapes. A equilateral triangle and a square.
Area of the square = l² = 9² = 81 m²
Area of a equilateral trinagle = l²√3/4 = 9²√3/4 = 81√3/42 = 81 . 1.73/2 = 140.3/4 = 35.07 m²
