Answer:

126.5 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the equation to find the area of a trapezoid is A= 1/2(b1 + b2)h , where b1 is the first length and b2 is the second length and h is the height. For these measurements, you would simply factor them into the equation- A= 1/2(8 + 15)11. Then using pemdas, 8+15= 23... multiplied by 1/2 equalling 11.5. Then multiply 11.5 by 11 to get your answer of 126.5 then add the units.

We can use the ratios for special triangles (see the attachment below). We'll be using the 45-45-90 triangle. We notice that side BC is equal to $x \sqrt{2}$ , and side AC (x using the special right triangle) is equal to 16. We can therefore say that side BC is equal to $16 \sqrt{2}$ ft
