Question

A trapezoid has a height of 12 feet, and base measurements of 15 feet and 10 feet. What is the area? [?] square feet Hint: The formula for the area of a trapezoid is: bb).h Enter

Answer 1

h = 12 feet

a = 10 feet

b = 15 feet

$\begin{gathered} \text{area of a trapezoid}=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h \\ \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} area=\frac{1}{2}(10+15)12 \\ \text{area}=\frac{1}{2}(25)12 \\ \text{area}=\frac{300}{2} \\ \text{area}=150ft^2 \end{gathered}$
