Question

How do I do 18ft one

Answer 1

The area of the trapezoid is 78 ft^2

Explanation:

The reason the answer is 78 ft is because first, you want to figure out the area of the rectangle shape which you will multiply 18 x 3 which is 54. Then, you will want to find the area of the triangle. remember for area of the triangle, multiply base by height and divide by 2. The answer is 24ft for the triangle. Lastly, you want to add 54ft + 24 ft. This gives you 78 ft squared in all.

Answer 2

168 ft^2

Explanation:

First, solve the area of the rectangle. 18*8=144ft^2.

Next, solve the area of the triangle, using the formula A=1/2bh.

A=1/2(8)(6)

A=1/2(48)

A=24

Finally, sum up the two areas, 144+24=168ft^2
