What is the area of this trapezoid? 86 in² 112 in² 148 in² 184 in² Trapezoid A B C D with parallel sides D C and A B. Point F and E are on side D C. Point F is connected to point A by a dotted segment. Point E is connected to point B by a dotted segment. A B E F is a rectangle. D F is 3 inches. E C is 6 inches. E B is 8 inches. A B is 14 inches.

Option C: is the area of the trapezoid.

Explanation:

The image of the trapezoid having these descriptions is attached below:

Now, we shall determine the area of the trapezoid using the formula,

where a and b are the base of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid.

Thus, we shall find the value of a and b from the diagram given below.

It is given that the height of the trapezoid

Thus, substituting the values of a,b and h in the formula , we get,

Thus, the area of the trapezoid is

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
