Question

What is the area is square feet?

Answer 1

A = 24

Explanation:

Figure shown is a trapezoid

Area of a trapezoid =
`(a+b)/(2) h`

where a and b = base lengths and h = height

The trapezoid shown has the following dimensions

Shorter base length (a) = 6

Longer base length (b) = 10

Height (h) = 3

Using these dimensions , plug in the values into the area formula

A =
`(6+10)/(2) 3`

add 6 + 10 = 16

`A=(16)/(2) 3`

divide 16/2 = 8

`A = (8)(3)`

multiply 8 times 3

A = 24
