Question

the end of the rain gutter has the shape of a trapezoid with the measurements shown. find the area of this end

Answer 1

The area of the end of the rain gutter is
`20\ in^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

`A=(1/2)(b1+b2)h`

In this problem we have

`h=4\ in`

`b1=4\ in`

`b2=6\ in`

substitute

`A=(1/2)(4+6)4=20\ in^(2)`
