Question

Sup peeps
Can someone find the area of this plz

Answer 1

448 sq.ft

Explanation:

The following figure is a trapezium,

So Given,

Parallel sides of the trapezium = 17ft and 39ft

Height of the trapezium = 16ft

Therefore,

Area of the trapezium

`= (1)/(2) * (sum \: of \: parallel \: sides) * height`

`= (1)/(2) * (17ft + 39ft) * 16ft`

`= (1)/(2) * 56ft * 16ft`

`= 56ft * 8ft`

`= 448 {ft}^(2)`

Hence,

448 sq.ft is the area of the trapezium (Ans)
