Answer:

468 ft²

Explanation:

Area = (37+15)/2 × 18

37 + 15 is 52

Divide 52 by 2 which is 26

26 × 18 is 468

Hello There!!

We know,


\text{Area of trapezoid =} (a + b)/(2) h

Here, a and b are base and h is height

Inserting The Values


= (37 + 15)/(2) * 18 \\ \\ = (52)/(2) * 18 \\ \\ = \cancel\frac {52}{2} * 18 \\ \\ = 26 * 18 \\ = 468 \: \text{ft²}

Hope This Helps
