Find the area of a trapezoid whose vertices have coordinates (3; 2), (9; 3), (9; 7), (3; 5).

Mark the points on the coordinate plane and connect them. ABCD – trapezoid with bases AD and CD.

Length АD = 7 – 3 = 4 cm, length СD = 5 – 2 = 3 cm.

Let’s build the height of the HВ.

Length BH = 9 – 3 = 6 cm.

Determine the area of the trapezoid.

Savsd = (АD + ВС) * ВН / 2 = (4 + 3) * 6/2 = 7 * 3 = 21 cm2.

Answer: The area of the trapezoid is 21 cm2.
