Question

What is the area of the trapezoid ?

Answer 1

Answer:

432 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

432 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a trapezoid is:

$A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h$

b₁, b₂ - bases

h - height

We have:

b₁ = 20 ft, b₂ = 16 ft, h = 24 ft

Substitute:

$A=\dfrac{20+16}{2}\cdot24=\dfrac{36}{2}\cdot24=18\cdot24=432\ ft^2$
