Question

Find the area of a trapezoid with a base of 21.6 m, a height of 4.5 m, and top of 11.9 m. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 11.9 m 14.5 m 21.6 m​

Answer 1

`A=75.37\ m^2`

Explanation:

Given that,

The base of a trapezoid, b = 21.6 m

Height of the trapezoid, h = 4.5 m

The tope of the trapezoid, a = 11.9 m

We need to find the area of a trapezoid. The formula for the area of a trapezoid can be given by :

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

Put all the values,

`A=(1)/(2)* (21.6+11.9)* 4.5\\\\=75.37\ m^2`

Hence, the area of a trapezoid is equal to
`75.37\ m^2`.
