Question

The bases of a trapezoid are 24 feet and 16 feet. The height of the trapezoid is 12 feet. What is the area of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

The formula to use is A=(b1+b2)h if one base is 24 and the other one is 16 which equals to 40 when you add then you still have H which is 12 so you could either divide 12 by two to get half or multiply by 12 and then divide it
40•12=480
480 divided by 2= 240
Your final answer should be 240ft
