Catherine has a garden that is shaped like a trapezoid. The trapezoid has a height of 9. 6m, and the bases are 16. 2m and 10. 8m. How many square meters will be available to plant?

Respuesta :

The area available to plant is 129.6m².

Trapezoid:

A trapezoid, also known as a trapezium, is a flat closed shape having 4 straight sides, with one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides of a trapezium are known as the bases, and its non-parallel sides are called legs.

Here we have to find the area of the trapezoid.

Formula to find the area:

Area = 1/2 ( sum of the parallel base ) height

Here we are provided with two bases 16.2m and 10.8m

Height = 9.6m

Area = 1/2 ( 16.2 + 10.8) 9.6

        = 1/2 × 27 × 9.6

        = 27 × 4.8

        = 129.6m²

Therefore the area is 129.6m².
