Question

Find the area of the figure. If needed, round to the nearest tenth.

Isosceles trapezoid
An isosceles trapezoid with bottom base length of 14 feet, top base of 7 feet, and height of 6 feet.
a.
63 sq. ft
b.
27 sq. ft
c.
49 sq. ft
d.
126 sq. ft

Answer 1

`63 {ft}^(2)`

Answer A is correct

Explanation:

`area = (1)/(2) (a + b)h \\ = (1)/(2) * (7 + 14) * 6 \\ = (1)/(2) * 21 * 6 \\ = (126)/(2) \\ = 63 {ft}^(2)`

hope this helps

Answer 2

a. 63 ft²

Explanation:

A= 1/2(b1+b2)h

• b1= 14 ft
• b2= 7 ft
• h= 6 ft
• A= 1/2(14+7)*6= 63 ft²
