Question

Find the area pf a trapezoid with a base of 26.7 ft , a height of 15.4 and top of 9.9 ft

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the area of the trapezoid, you use the formula A=1/2h(a+b), where a and b represent the two base lengths.

Since we already know the two bases and the height, we can just plug them into the equation to find the area.

A=1/2·15.4(26.7+9.9)
A=1/2·15.4(36.6)
A=1/2·563.64
A=281.82

The area is 281.82 ft².

I hope this helps!
