Question

Find the area of the trapezoid.

Answer 1

`\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} a, b=\stackrel{bases}{parallel~sides} \\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=20\\ b=25\\ h=15 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{15(20+25)}{2} \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{15(45)}{2}\implies A=337.5`

Answer 2

the area of the trapizoif is 97.5
