∙ 13y agoLet one parallel be x+1.75 and the other parallel be x:
1/2(sum of parallels)height = area
1/2(x+1.75+x)16 = 174 cm2
Multiply both sides by 2 and then divide both sides by 16:
x+1.75+x = 21.75
Collect like terms and subtract 1.75 from both sides:
2x = 20 => x = 10
Therefore the lengths of the parallels are 11.75 cm and 10 cm
Check: 1/2(11.75+10)16 = 174 cm2

Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is (a + b) * h / 2, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
The area of a trapezoid is equal to half the sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides (base1 and base2) multiplied by the height. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = (base1 + base2) * height / 2.
Divide area by one half of the sum of the bases. You need to know base lengths to get height
It is the distance between the parallels
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
If the lengths of the bases are also given then rearrange the area of the trapezoid formula so that the height is the subject.
Height of trapezoid = 2*area/sum of parallel sides
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is (a + b) * h / 2, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of the lengths of each side. To find the area of a trapezoid: add base 1 and base 2 together then divide that answer by 2, then multiply it by the height of the trapezoid.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = (a + b) * h / 2, where a and b are the lengths of the two parallel sides, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = (1/2) * (a + b) * h, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the parallel sides and 'h' is the height of the trapezoid.
The area of a trapezoid is equal to half the sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides (base1 and base2) multiplied by the height. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = (base1 + base2) * height / 2.
Divide area by one half of the sum of the bases. You need to know base lengths to get height
The answer is 24.
To measure the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula: Area = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) * (height). Simply add the lengths of the two parallel sides together, multiply by the height, and then divide by 2 to find the area of the trapezoid.
