Given Information :

  • Length of parallel sides = 60 ft and 40 ft
  • Height of the trapezoid = 30 ft

To calculate :

  • Area of the trapezoid.

Calculation :

As we know that,


image

  • a and b are length of parallel sides.
  • h denotes height.

Substituting values, we get :


image Area =
image × ( 60 + 40 ) × 30 ft
image


image Area =
image × 100 × 30 ft
image


image Area = 1 × 100 × 15 ft
image


image Area = 100 × 15 ft
image


image Area = 1500 ft
image

Therefore,

  • Area of the trapezoid is 1500 ft
