The formula for area of a trapezoid is a = 1/2h (b1 + b2), where h represents height and b1 and b2 represent the two bases. Let's plug in the dimensions we know (from the picture.)
a = 1/2(12)(11 + 14)
Now we evaluate the equation in order to find a, or area
1) Find half of 12 a = 6 (8 + 14)
2) Add 8 and 14 a = 6 (22)
3) Multiply 6 by 22 a = 132
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 132 squared inches.

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
