Question

Find the area.This is a trapezoid, with bases that measure 5 feet and 10 feet, and a height of 4 feet.A. 30 ft²B. 19 ft²C. 31 ft²D. 25 ft²

Answer 1

The area of a trapezoid is given by:

$A=\frac{(Base1+Base2)}{2}*h$

Where, Base1=10ft

Base 2=5ft

and the height is: 4ft

Replacing:

$A=\frac{(10+5)}{2}*4=\frac{15}{2}*4=15*2=30$

The asnwer is: A) 30ft^2.
