Question

 What is the area, in square inches, of the trapezoid below?

Answer 1

area of trapezoid = 79.2 sq units .

Explanation:

as area of trapezoid = 1/2 × sum of parallel sides × height = 1/2 × 8× (14.4 + 5.4) = 4 × 19.8 = 79.2 sq units ....

Answer 2

The area, in square inches, of the trapezoid below is 79.2

How to solve for the area

The formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid is given by:

`\[ \text{Area} = (1)/(2) * (\text{Sum of the lengths of the parallel sides}) * (\text{Height}) \]`

• The sum of the lengths of the parallel sides refers to the sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid.
• The height represents the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides of the trapezoid.

The formula for the area of the trapezoid is given by":

½ × (a + b) × h

where a = 5.4

b = 14.4

h = 8 inches

Next we have to fill in the values that we have here

½ * (5.4 + 14.4) 8

= ½ * 158.4

= 79.2

The area, in square inches, of the trapezoid below is 79.2
