Question

Find the area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 70 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area of trapezoid formula is A = 1/2×(a+b)×h where a and b is the length and h is the height. Then you have to substitute the values into the formula :

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h$

Let a = 8,

Let b = 12,

Let h = 7,

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

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 7$

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times 140$

$area = 70 \: {m}^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$70 {m}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$area = \frac{1}{2} (a + b) \times h \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times (8 + 12) \times 7 \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 7 \\ = \frac{20}{2} \times 7\\ = 10 \times 7 \\ = 70 {m}^{2}$
