Question

What is the area of the right trapezoid? Please answerrr

Answer 1

A = 56 in²

Explanation:

the area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` h (b₁ + b₂ )

h is the perpendicular height between bases and b₁, b₂ the bases

here h = 7 , b₁ = 10 , b₂ = 6 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 7 × (10 + 6) = 3.5 × 16 = 56 in²
