Mathematics Knowledge Question
In working as an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of studying geometry in order to prepare for the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB. To be prepared for geometry on the test, I tell my students to know the different types of shapes and their formulas. The formulas I present in my class include the formulas for area, circumference, surface area, volume and perimeter.
Today I present a Mathematics Knowledge question.
It is a geometry question about a trapezoid.
The question is:
If a trapezoid has one base of 6 and one base of 8 and a height of 3, what is its area?
- 16
- 18
- 21
- 24
In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to know the formula for the area of a trapezoid.
Tomorrow I will present the answer and explanation to this problem.
