Question

400 ft 175 ft 550 ft What is the area of this trapezoid? square feet

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

`b_1=400ft,h=175ft,b_2=550ft`

The area of this trapezoid

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)(b_1+b_2)h \\ A=(1)/(2)(400+550)\cdot175=(1)/(2)(950)\cdot175 \\ A=83125ft^2 \end{gathered}`
