Question

A trapezoidal window is 8 feet tall and has base lengths of 1 foot and 7 feet. What is the area of the window? The area of the window is _____ square feet.
Can you help me do it.

Answer 1

Answer: 32 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is calculable using the formula:

= (a + b)/ 2 * height

Where a and b are the base lengths.

= (1 + 7) / 2 * 8

= 8/2 * 8

= 4 * 8

= 32 ft²
