Question

Find the area of this trapezoid. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

the area of this trapezoid= 81 square inches

Explanation:

To find area of trapezoid , we use formula

`Area = (a+b)/(2) * h`

Where a,b are the base of the trapezoid

h is the height of the trapezoid

Here a= 3 in

b = 15 in

h = 9 in

Plug in all the values in the formula

`Area = (a+b)/(2) * h`

`Area = (3+15)/(2) * 9`

`Area = (18)/(2) * 9`

Area = 9 * 9 = 81

the area of this trapezoid= 81 square inches
