Question

PLEASE HELP ON THIS, Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

Because this shape has 2 right angles, we can confirm that it has one set of parallel sides and is a trapezoid. Therefore, use the formula for area of a trapezoid, .5(b1+b2)(h)
.5(1+6)(12)
.5(7)(12)
42 units^2

Answer 2

`A=42 u^(2)`

Explanation:

The figure is a trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is defined as

`A=(1)/(2)(b+B)h`

Where
`b=1, B=6, h=12`

Replacing each value, we have

`A=(1)/(2)(1+6)(12)\\A=42u^(2)`

Therefore, of the shape shows in the image attached is
`A=42 u^(2)`
