Question

Find the area of the figure.

Answer 1

132 cm^2

Explanation:

First find the area of the rectangle on top:

4 * 7 = 28 cm^2

Remember: Don't forget units!

Next, find the average of the trapezoid's bases:

(7 + 19) / 2 = 26 / 2 = 13

Then, find the area of the trapezoid using (avg(bases) * height):

13 * 8 = 104 cm^2

Finally, add the two areas:

28 + 104 = 132 cm^2
