Question

the top of a display counter at a store is in the shape of a trapezoid . the lengths of the front back and with in feet of the top of the display counter a. 40 square b. 50 square c.30 square feet d. 66 square feet​

Answer 1

`Area = 56` square feet

Explanation:

Here we have , the top of a display counter at a store is in the shape of a trapezoid . the lengths of the front back and with in feet of the top of the display counter . Complete question is given below , We need to find area of trapezoid with dimensions :

`a = 4\\b = 12\\h = 7`

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

⇒
`Area = (a+b)/(2) (h)`

⇒
`Area = (4+12)/(2) (7)`

⇒
`Area = (16)/(2) (7)`

⇒
`Area =8 (7)`

⇒
`Area = 56`

Therefore,
`Area = 56` square feet.
