Question

A trapezoid with base lengths of 11 inches and 15 inches, and height 7 inches.

What is the area of the trapezoid?

33 in2
52.5 in2
82.5 in2
91 in2

Answer 1

To find the area of a trapezoid, we can use the formula:

Area = (base1 + base2) * height / 2

In this case, the base lengths are given as 11 inches and 15 inches, and the height is given as 7 inches. Substituting these values into the formula, we have:

Area = (11 + 15) * 7 / 2

Area = 26 * 7 / 2

Area = 182 / 2

Area = 91 in^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 91 in^2.
