EXAMPLE 1 Find the area of a trapezoid

SOLUTION

The height of the trapezoid is 5.8 meters. The lengths of the bases are 3.6 meters and 6 meters.

A = h(b1 + b2)12

= (5.8)(3.6 + 6)12

= 27.84

Formula for area of a trapezoid

Substitute 5.8 for h, 3.6 for b1, and6 for b2.

Simplify.

The area of the free-throw lane is about 27.8 square meters.

EXAMPLE 2 Find the area of a rhombus

STEP 1 Find the length of each diagonal. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other, so QN = NS and PN = NR.

QS = QN + NS = 9 + 9 = 18 mm

PR = PN + NR = 12 + 12 = 24 mm

STEP 2 Find the area of the rhombus. Let d1

represent QS and d2 represent PR.
