Question

Find the area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation


`A = (a + b)/(2) h`

A is area
a and b are the base length
h is height

Put in the values you know


`A = (20 + 25)/(2) * 15`

Add


`A = (45)/(2) * 15`

Divide


`A = 22.5 * 15`

Multiply

A = 337.5

The answer is B) 337.5 ft squared

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Area of the trapezoid = 1/2(b1 + b2) h

b1 = top base
b2 = bottom base
h = height

so
A = 1/2(20 + 25)(15)
A = 1/2(45)(15)
A = 337.5

answer
B. 337.5 ft^2
