Question

What is the area of the trapezoid ?

Answer 1

432 is the answer

Answer 2

432 ft²

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a trapezoid is:

`A=(b_1+b_2)/(2)\cdot h`

b₁, b₂ - bases

h - height

We have:

b₁ = 20 ft, b₂ = 16 ft, h = 24 ft

Substitute:

`A=(20+16)/(2)\cdot24=(36)/(2)\cdot24=18\cdot24=432\ ft^2`
