Question

Find the area of this trapezoid. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.14 ft16 ft7 ft17 ft

Answer 1

The area of a trapezoid can be found through the formula

`A=(a+b)/(2)\cdot h`

where a and b are the bases and h the height, then,

`\begin{gathered} A=(14+7)/(2)ft\cdot7ft \\ A=10.5ft\cdot7ft \\ A=73.5ft^2 \end{gathered}`
