Final answer:

The exact area of the soccer goal net cannot be determined without the specific dimensions of the trapezoid. To calculate the area of a right trapezoid, one would use the formula involving the bases and the height. For a large soccer field with given dimensions in meters, these can be converted to feet and inches using the conversion factor for meters to feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question being asked is to determine the area of a soccer goal net, which is in the shape of a right trapezoid, to calculate the amount of netting needed for both sides of the goal. The question seems to be incomplete as the exact dimensions of the trapezoid are not provided. Therefore, to calculate the area of a right trapezoid, one would use the formula: Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height, where base1 and base2 are the parallel sides and the height is the distance between them. However, without the specific dimensions, we cannot calculate the exact area. To answer a similar question for a different scenario, if a soccer field is 115 meters long and 85 meters wide, one must convert meters to feet using the conversion factor of 1 meter equals 3.281 feet.

To find the dimensions in feet, one would multiply the length and width in meters by the conversion factor:

  • Length in feet = 115 meters * 3.281 feet/meter
  • Width in feet = 85 meters * 3.281 feet/meter

Once the dimensions in feet are obtained, to move to inches we multiply the fractional foot value by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot).

Answer:


61^(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So area equals {(B+b) x h} / 2 the two bases are 4 and 10 which is 14 the height is 8 so 14 times 8 is 112. 112 divided by 2 is 61. I hope this helps.
