On calculating above equation
Now calculating perimeter of the trapezoid
Perimeter
Substituting the values
Perimeter = 5 + 10 + 5 + 4 = 24 unit
From the above graph, height of the trapezoid is AE
AE = 4 units
Using the below formula to calculate area of the trapezoid
Where a is AD , b is BC and h is height of the trapezoid shown in graph
Substituting the values of a, b and h in the above formula
