Option C: 155 in 2

Explanation: To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula A = 1/2 * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height of the trapezoid.

In this case, the bases of the trapezoid are 15 and 25 (since it is an isosceles trapezoid), and the height is 10. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

A = 1/2 * (15 + 25) * 10
A = 1/2 * 40 * 10
A = 20 * 10
A = 200

Therefore, the area of the isosceles trapezoid is 200 square units. None of the given options match this answer exactly, but of the choices provided, option C is the closest at 155 in 2.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula A = 1/2 * base * height, where base and height are the dimensions given for the triangle.

In this case, the base of the triangle is given as 62 cm and the height is given as 41 cm.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

A = 1/2 * 62 * 41
A = 31 * 41
A = 1271

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 1271 square centimeters. None of the provided options match this answer exactly, but the closest option is:

Option A: 1,257.3 cm2

Therefore, option A is the closest to the calculated area of the triangle.
