Answer: the area of the trapezoid is 432 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of cross section of a trapezoid is expressed as

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Where

a and b are the length of The bases are the 2 sides of the trapezoid which are parallel with one another.

h represents the height of the trapezoid.

From the information given,

a = 16 feet

b = 20 feet

h = 24 feet

Therefore,

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(16 + 20)24

= 1/2 × 36 × 24

= 432feet²
