Question

Find the area of the trapezoid.A trapezoid with the top base labeled two feet and the bottom base labeled ten feet. The height is labeled four feet.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we will use the following formula for the area of a trapezoid:

`A=(1)/(2)(B+b)h,`

where B and b are the lengths of the bases and h is the height.

Substituting B=10 ft, b=2 ft, and h=4 ft in the above formula, we get:

`A=(1)/(2)(2ft+10ft)4\text{ ft.}`

Simplifying we get:

`A=24ft^2\text{.}`

Answer:

`24ft^2\text{.}`
