What is the term, coefficient, constant, and factor of 1/2(base1 + base2)h? (Formula used to find area of trapezoid)

Respuesta :

Answer:

i. Term = [tex]\frac{b_{1}h }{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{b_{2}h }{2}[/tex]

ii. Coefficient = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

iii. Constant = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

iv. Factor = [tex]\frac{h}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral which has its base parallel to the opposite side. It's area can be determined by;

Area of trapezium = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ([tex]b_{1}[/tex] + [tex]b_{2}[/tex])h

Where [tex]b_{1}[/tex] is the measure of length of its fist base,  [tex]b_{2}[/tex] is the measure of its second base and h is its height.

Considering the given question,

Term = [tex]\frac{b_{1}h }{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{b_{2}h }{2}[/tex]

Coefficient = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Constant = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Factor = [tex]\frac{h}{2}[/tex]
