Question

Find the area of the trapezoid. A. 675 ft2 B. 337.5 ft2 C. 187.5 ft2 D. 150 ft2

Answer 1

I think ur answer will be b

Answer 2

Answer: B.
`337.5\text{ ft.}^2`

Explanation:

The area of trapezoid is given by :-

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)h(a+b)`, where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the height.

From the given picture, we have

Height (h) = 15 ft

a = 20 ft.

b = 25 ft.

Then , the area of trapezoid is given by :-

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)(15)(20+25)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=337.5\text{ ft.}^2`

Hence, the area of trapezoid is
`337.5\text{ ft.}^2`
