Question

Find the area of the trapezoid. Use the formula: A = (b1+b2) h 2 16 in. 10 in. 20 in. Area = [?] in.2 Enter

Answer 1

The area of a trapezoid is given by:

`A=((b1+b2))/(2)\cdot h`

Where:

b1 = Short base = 16 in

b2 = Long base = 20 in

h = Height = 10 in

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} A=(20+16)/(2)\cdot10 \\ A=18\cdot10 \\ A=180in^2 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

180 in²
