Question

What is the area of this trapezoid? Enter your answer in the box.​

Answer 1

Answer:

352 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is $A=(\frac{b_1+b_2}{2})h$ where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the bases of the trapezoid and $h$ is the height, thus:

$A=(\frac{b_1+b_2}{2})h\\\\A=(\frac{13+31}{2})(16)\\\\A=(\frac{44}{2})(16)\\ \\A=(22)(16)\\\\A=352$

This means that the area of the trapezoid is 352 ft².
