Question

Find the area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

The area of this trapezoid is equal to 240
`m^(2)`

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid can be found by using the following formula...

`Area = ((a + b)h)/(2)` (in this formula a and b are the bases of the trapezoid and h is

the height of the trapezoid).

Now we just substitute the values and get...

`Area = ((a + b)h)/(2) = ((9 + 15)(20))/(2) = (480)/(2) = 240m^(2)`

Answer 2

The equation for solving a trapezoid is
A=((a+b)/2) x h

So if you plug in the variables it will be
A=((9+15)/2) x 20
A=(24/2) x 20
A=12 x 20
A=240

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 240 m^2.

hope this helps!!
