Answer 1

The area of the given trapezoid is 60 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The trapezoid's area is calculated by adding the base lengths and multiplying it with the trapezoid's height and $\frac{1}{2} .$

The trapezoid's area, $A = (sum of the lengths)(\frac{height}{2})$

Here the sum of the base lengths is given as 15 inches.

Step 2:

In the given problem, the sum of the base lengths is 15 inches and the height of the trapezoid is 8 inches.

The trapezoid's area $A = (15)(\frac{8}{2} )= (15)(4) = 60.$

So the area of the given trapezoid is 60 square inches.
