Question

Find the area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

C.
`52√(3)\ ft^2`

Explanation:

Use formula for the area of trapezoid

`A=(a+b)/(2)\cdot h,`

where a is the smaller base, b is the larger base and h is the height.

From the diagram,

`a=11\ ft\\ \\b=15\ ft\\ \\h=4√(3)\ ft`

So, the area of trapezoid is

`A=(11+15)/(2)\cdot 4√(3)=13\cdot 4√(3)=52√(3)\ ft^2`
