Question

Find the area of the following shape

Answer 1

Answer:

56.8 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape is clearly a trapezium / trapezoid. So :  

Area of a trapezium is given by the formula :

$\frac{a+b}{2} h$

Substitute values given in diagram :

a = 4.2

b = 10

h = 8

$(\frac{4.2+10}{2} )8$

7.1 × 8 = 56.8

Units will be m² as this is area

Giving us our final answer of 56.8 m²
