Method: See solution.
Area: 24 units^2
Substitute ( 5,2) & ( 1,6)
Subtract terms
(- a)^2 = a^2
Calculate power
Add terms
Split into factors
sqrt(a* b)=sqrt(a)*sqrt(b)
Calculate root
The area of a trapezoid is calculated by multiplying its height with the sum of its parallel sides, divided by 2. A=1/2h(b_1+b_2) Let's identify these dimensions in ABB'A' and calculate the area.
