Question 1086289: A trapezoid has a base of x and a height of 3 units. If there is also a square with sides measuring x, what formula would be used to calculate the total area of both figures (the ^ sign represents the exponent or power of the number): *
9x
x 2
4x + x 3
1x 2 + 3

This posting does not make sense.
1) No ^ characters are visible.
2) A trapezoid (by the american definition of trapezoid) looks like this:
has two bases (B and b), a height (h), and an area .
So, given one base of a trapezoid and its height, we would still be asking about the other base.
A trapezoid by the British definition would make us ask even more questions.
If instead of a trapezoid, you had a parallelogram or a rectangle, like these
,
then the total area of
such a parallelogram with a base of x and a height of 3 units,
plus a square with sides measuring x would be
,
where would be the area of the square,
and would be the area of the parallelogram.
However, that does not look like any of your choices for the answer,
so I do not think that would be what the problem was either.
