Question

What is the area of this trapezoid? 13 ft Enter your answer in the box. 16 ft ft2 31 ft

Answer 1

The area of a trapezoid is given as

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

From the given trapezoid

$a=13ft,b=31ft,h=16ft$

Substitute the values of a, b, and h into the equation

This gives

$A=\frac{1}{2}(13+31)\times16$

Calculate the value of A

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}(44)\times16 \\ A=44\times8 \\ A=352 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the area of the trapezoid is

$352ft^2$
