Question

Would someone help me with this real quick!

Answer 1

The answer is 432 square ft

Explanation:

Given;

• b₁ = 20 ft
• b₂ = 28 ft
• h = 18 ft

To Find;

• Area of Trapezoid

Formula;

• A= (b₁ + b₂) ÷ 2 × h

So,

A = (20 + 28)/2 × 18 ft

A = 48/2 × 18 ft

A = 24 × 18 ft

A = 432 square ft

Thus, The area of trapezoid is 432 square ft

Answer 2

432 square feet

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid formula is:
`Area= (a+b)/(2) h`

when plugging in the numbers for the letters;

a = 20

b = 28

h = 18

then solve, the correct answer is 432.

-----------------

Another way to solve is to brank down the shape;

what is 28 - 20? its

8 * 18 / 2 = 72

18 * 20 = 360

100 + 360 = 432
