Recap: Trapezoid Area
Part of the Polygons & Quadrilaterals section of Coddy's Geometry journey. Lesson 44 of 59.
Challenge
ABCD is a trapezoid with area 50, AB = x + 4, DC = x and the dashed height DE = 5. Use the figure to write an equation, then solve it for x.
Then press Check.
Try it yourself
Use the figure to find x
