Question

Find the area of the trapezoid.A trapezoid with the top base labeled two feet and the bottom base labeled ten feet. The height is labeled four feet.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we will use the following formula for the area of a trapezoid:

$A=\frac{1}{2}(B+b)h,$

where B and b are the lengths of the bases and h is the height.

Substituting B=10 ft, b=2 ft, and h=4 ft in the above formula, we get:

$A=\frac{1}{2}(2ft+10ft)4\text{ ft.}$

Simplifying we get:

$A=24ft^2\text{.}$

Answer:

$24ft^2\text{.}$
