Answer 1

Answer:

  (b)  16 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h . . . . . where b1, b2 are the base lengths, h is the height

Using the values shown on the diagram, we find the area to be ...

  A = 1/2(3 ft + 5 ft)(4 ft) = (1/2)(8 ft)(4 ft) = 16 ft²

The area of the trapezoid is 16 ft².
