Question

What is the area of the figure? Answer in decimal from to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The formula of an area of a trapezoid:

`A=(a+b)/(2)\cdot h`
a,b - a baseh - a height
We have:

`a=7(1)/(2)m=7.5m\\\\b=5.5m\\\\h=5.5m`
substitute

`A=(7.5+5.5)/(2)\cdot5.5=(13)/(2)\cdot5.5=6.5\cdot5.5=35.75\ m^2`
