Question

What is the area,in square units,of the trapizod

Answer 1

$\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} a,b=\stackrel{bases}{parallel~sides}\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=10\\ b=14\\ h=8 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8(10+14)}{2} \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{8(24)}{2}\implies A=96$
