Question

Find the area of the composite figure.Round Your Answer To The Nearest Hundreth if needed

Answer 1

`A = 68.75 \text{ square inches}`

Explanation:

First, we need to identify the trapezoid's dimensions:

base 1 = 16

base 2 = 11.5

height = 5

Then, we can plug these values into the trapezoid area formula:

`A = (b_1+b_2)/(2) \cdot h`

`A = (16 + 11.5)/(2) \cdot 5`

`A = (27.5)/(2) \cdot 5`

`A = (137.5)/(2)`

`\boxed{A = 68.75 \text{ square inches}}`
