Question

The playground at a park is shaped like a trapezoid the dimensions what is the area of the playground in square feet

Answer 1

Answer:

$Area = 1560ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for playground

Required

Determine the area

The playground is a trapezoid. So;

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(Sum\ parallel\ sides) * Height$

From the attachment, the parallel sides are: 68ft and 36ft

The height is: 30ft

So, the area is:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(68ft + 36ft) * 30ft$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(104ft) * 30ft$

$Area = 52ft * 30ft$

$Area = 1560ft^2$
