Question

the area of this trapezoid. Be sure to include the correct unit in your an8 m15 m12 mTym

Answer 1

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the following equation:

$\text{Area = }\frac{height\times(GreaterBase+LowerBase)}{2}$

In this trapezoid, Height = 12m , Greater Base = 17m , Lower Base = 8m. Therefore:

$\text{Area = }\frac{12\times(17+8)}{2}=150m^2$
