question 309

Multiple Choice

Solve.
-The area $A$ of a trapezoid with bases $b$ and $B$ and height $h$ is given by the formula $A = \frac { 1 } { 2 } b h + \frac { 1 } { 2 } B h . W r i t e$ an equivalent equation by factoring the expression $\frac { 1 } { 2 } b h + \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { Bh }$ .

• A) \(\mathrm { A } = 2 ( \mathrm {~b} + \mathrm { B } ) \mathrm { h }\)
• B) \(A = \frac { 1 } { 2 } ( b + B + h )\)
• C) \(A = \frac { 1 } { 2 } ( b + B ) h\)
• D) \(\mathrm { A } = ( \mathrm { b } + \mathrm { B } ) \mathrm { h }\)
