Explanation:

The rear window of DeMarcus's car is in the shape of a trapezoid. The bottom is 50 inches across and the top is 45 inches across. The window has a height of 24 inches. What is the area of the window?

Area of a Trapezoid

= 1/2(b1 + b2)h

b1 =

b2 =

h =

Hence, 1/2 (50 + 45) × 24

= 1/2 × 95 × 24

= 1140 Square inches
