Question

Find the area of the trapezoid. A. 675 ft2 B. 337.5 ft2 C. 187.5 ft2 D. 150 ft2

Answer 1

I think ur answer will be b

Answer 2

Answer: B. $337.5\text{ ft.}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of trapezoid is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}h(a+b)$, where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the height.

From the given picture, we have

Height (h) = 15 ft

a =  20 ft.

b =  25 ft.

Then , the area of trapezoid is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}(15)(20+25)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=337.5\text{ ft.}^2$

Hence, the area of trapezoid is $337.5\text{ ft.}^2$
