Question

PLEASE ANSWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A park near Raphael’s home is shaped like a trapezoid.

To find its area, Raphael walked along the short base and measured it.

Then he walked at a right angle and measured the distance to the other side of the park.

Finally he measured the long distance of the base.

Use Raphael’s measurements shown below to find the area of the park.

Enter your answer in the box.

(A trapezoid with short base 145 yards, long base 225, and height 80 yards.)

Answer 1

14800

Explanation:

multiply the sum of the bases (the parallel sides) by the height (the perpendicular distance between the bases), and then divide by 2. So basically 145*80=11600 and 225*80=18000. 11600+18000=29600. 29600/2=14800
