Question

Find the area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

162

Explanation:

When you find the area of a trapezoid, you have to add the bases and multiply but the height 6+12=18, 18*9=162

Answer 2

The area of trapezoid is 81 in²

Explanation:

Given: In the given figure of trapezoid.

Formula:
`\text{Area of trapezoid}=(1)/(2)*\text{Sum of length of parallel sides}* \text{height}`

Dimension of trapezoid:

Length of base, b=12 in

Length of top, a=6 in

Height, h=9 in

`\text{Area of trapezoid}=(1)/(2)* h(a+b)`

By substituting the value of a, b and h

`=(1)/(2)* 9\cdot (6+12)`

`=(1)/(2)* 9\cdot 18`

`= 9\cdot 9`

`=81\text{ in}^2`

Hence, The area of trapezoid is 81 in²
