Question

Find the area of this trapezoid. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 48 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply the area of trapezoid formula, A = 1/2×(a+b)×h where a and b represents the length and h is the height :

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h$

$let \: a = 3,b = 9,h = 8$

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times (3 + 9) \times 8$

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 8$

$area = 48 \: {m}^{2}$
