Heyy this is a super easy problem, and I’m here to help! Based off our problem here we have a trapezoid. And we are finding AREA. The formula for area of a trapezoid is 1/2h(base 1 + base 2). Our bases in this problem are 60.5 and 75.5. We are going to addd these together and we’re going to get, 136. Now, we must multiply 136, by its height(16). 136 x 16 = 2176. Lastly we are going to divide by 2 and get our final answer of 1088 feet cubed.
The percentage equation that can be used to find the percent of books that are fiction can only be found where the number of fiction books is known and the total number of books available is known as well.
