Question

what is the area of this trapezoid. Enter your answer in the box.



​

Answer 1

Answer:

$352\ ft ^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

$A=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}*h$

In this case $b_1 b_2$ represent the two bases of the trapezoid.

We can plug in the given lengths into the equation:

$A=\frac{13+31}{2}*16=\frac{44}{2}*16=22*16=352\ ft^2$

Answer 2

Answer:

352 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

to do area of a trapezoid you do: (a+b) *h/ 2

a would be 13 b would b 31 and h would be 16 : (13+31) * 16/2

now you will have 44*16/2

now you have 704/2

your final answer is 352
