Question

What is the area of this trapezoid?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

A = 322 ft²

Explanation:

the area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height between the bases and b₁, b₂ the bases

here h = 14, b₁ = 35 , b₂ = 11 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 14 × (35 + 11) = 7 × 46 = 322 ft²
