Question

The lengths of the base of a trapezoid is 12ft and 5ft the height is 96 in what is the area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

the area is 816

Explanation:

Step-by-step

12 + 5 = 17

17 / 2 = 8.5

8.5 * 96 = 816

the area is 816

Answer 2

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is
A = (1/2)(b₁ +b₂)h

Substitute the given information and evaluate. (Make sure all dimensions have the same units.)
A = (1/2)(12 ft +5 ft)(8 ft)
A = 68 ft²

The area of the trapezoid is 68 square feet.
