Question

I need help understanding how to do this.

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of a trapezium = 1/2 * sum of parallel sides * distance between them

= 1/2 * (10 + 18) * 6

= 1/2 * 28 * 6

= 84 feet ^2

Area of a rectangle = length * breadth

= 18 * 12

= 216 feet ^2

Total Area = 84 + 216

Total area = 300 feet
