Question 256012: Determine the area of an isosceles trapezoid with sides of lengths 5,8,5,14 units.
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the equal sides are 5
the difference in the bases is 6 (14-8), which gives an "overhang" of 3 on each side (forming a 3-4-5 triangle)
___ so the height is 4
area is height times average of the bases
A = 4 [(14 + 8) / 2] = 44
