Question

What is the area of this trapezoid? Enter your answer in the box.​

Answer 1

352 ft²

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is
`A=((b_1+b_2)/(2))h` where
`b_1` and
`b_2` are the bases of the trapezoid and
`h` is the height, thus:

`A=((b_1+b_2)/(2))h\\\\A=((13+31)/(2))(16)\\\\A=((44)/(2))(16)\\ \\A=(22)(16)\\\\A=352`

This means that the area of the trapezoid is 352 ft².
