Question

Find the area of the trapezoid shown above. [?] square inches The measurements are 36in the base. 20in the height. 30 in the top.

Answer 1

The dimensions given are as follows;

Base a = 36

Base b = 30

Height = 20

The area is derived as follows;

`\begin{gathered} A=((a+b)/(2))* h \\ A=((36+30)/(2))*20 \\ A=((66)/(2))*20 \\ A=33*20 \\ A=660in^2 \end{gathered}`

The area therefore is 660 square inches
