Answer 1

Your answer would be 352ft²

Explanation:

I took the test and got 100%

Answer 2

The area of a trapezoid is given as

`A=(1)/(2)(a+b)h`

From the given trapezoid

`a=13ft,b=31ft,h=16ft`

Substitute the values of a, b, and h into the equation

This gives

`A=(1)/(2)(13+31)*16`

Calculate the value of A

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)(44)*16 \\ A=44*8 \\ A=352 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the area of the trapezoid is

`352ft^2`
