Question

What is the area of the shaded portion of the trapezoid in the figure, in terms of? The figure is not drawn to scale. All of the given measurements are in feet.

Answer 1

(150-36π) ft^2

Explanation:

we need to subtract the area of the circle from the area of the trapezoid to find the area of the shaded region.

area of circle=πr^2=π6^2=36π ft^2

area of trapezoid=(1/2)(a+b)h=(1/2)(12+13)12=150 ft^2

so, the area of trapezoid-area of circle=(150-36π) ft^2
