Question

On a road, a bike sign in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid is to be painted. The sign and its dimensions are shown below. What is the area of the sign?

A right trapezoid is shown with a height labeled 4 feet and one of the bases labeled as 7 feet, and the other base is labeled as 5 feet. pleassssssssssse help me

Answer 1

Area = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) x Height

=> 1/2(7+5) x 4

=> 1/2(12) x 4

=> 6 x 4

=> 24 feet

Answer 2

Explanation:

Area of Trapezoid= (a+b)*h/2

Here a nd b are the bases.

a = 7 ft; b = 5 ft; h = 4 ft

`Area=((7+5)*4)/(2)\\\\=(12*4)/(2)\\\\=12*2`

= 24 square feet
