Check the picture below.


\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=14\\ a=16\\ b=8 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{14(16+8)}{2}\implies A=\cfrac{14(24)}{2} \\\\\\ A=7(24)\implies A=168 \end{array}

Hey there!

A = ½ (a + b) h,

  • a =8
  • b = 16
  • h =14

⇒ A = ½(8+16)14

⇒ A = ½(24)14

⇒ A = (12)(14)

⇒ A = 168

Therefore, Area of trapezoid is 168 sq. un
