The area of an isosceles trapezoid with sides of length 5 and bases of length 8 and 14 is? Options.
A) 22 B) 32 C) 44 D) 55 E) 56
we can divide the trapezoid into two triangles and a rectangle   sides of triangle , t1 --&gt; h1 =5 , b1 =3 , s1= root(25-9) = 4 = s2 of triangle t2   area of triangle = (1/2)*4*3=

6   side of the rectangle= 8*4=

<output>32</output>
32   total area of the trapezoid= 32+6+6=
