Question

Can anyone help me on this?

Answer 1

Area is 80 square feet

Explanation:

The shape of the bedroom is a trapezoid

h = perpendicular height of trapezoid

Area of a trapezoid:

`(1)/(2)`×(Sum of parallel sides)× h

=
`(1)/(2)` × [(10 + 6) feet] × (10 feet)

=
`(1)/(2)` × (16 feet) × (10 feet)

∴ Area of Skylar’s Bedroom = 80 square feet

=
`80 ft^(2)`

Answer 2

A = 80ft^2

Explanation:

Area of trapezoid = (a + b/2) x h

A = ((6 + 10)/2) x 10

A = (16/2) x 10

A = 8 x 10

A = 80ft^2
