The necklace charm shown has two parts, each shaped like a trapezoid with identical dimensions.


What is the total area, in square millimeters, of the charm?

Respuesta :

What is the size of trapezoid?

Answer:

855mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the trapezoid can be calculated through the equation,

A = (b₁ + b₂)h / 2

where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,

A = (25mm + 32mm)(15 mm) / 2

A = 427.5 mm²

Since there are two trapezoids in the necklace, the area calculated is to be multiplied by two to get the total area.

total area = (427.5 mm²)(2)

total area = 855 mm²
