What is the area of the trapezoid?



Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Area of trapezoid= (a+b)/2 x h
a=long base
b=short base
h=altitude

a=27
b=15
h=18

a=(27+15)/2 x 18
a=42/2 x 18
a= 21 x 18

a=378

Answer 2

Explanation:

A =
`(b_(1) +b_(2) )/(2)` × h

~~~~~~~~

`b_(1)` = 15 in.

`b_(2)` = 6 + 15 + 6 = 21 in.

h = 18 in.

A =
`(15+21)/(2)` × 18 = 324 in.²
