Question

Find the area of the trapezoid. leave your answer in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Area$=70in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given diagram is a tra-pezoid.

The area of a tra-pezoid is calculated using the formula;

Area$=\frac{1}{2} (Sum\:of\:parallel\:sides)\times height$

This implies that;

Area$=\frac{1}{2} (8+12)\times 7$

Area$=\frac{1}{2} (20)\times 7$

Area$=(10)\times 7$

Area$=70in^2$

The last choice is correct.
