Question

What is the area of this trapezoid. Enter your answer in the box.



​

Answer 1

352 ft

Explanation:

to do area of a trapezoid you do: (a+b) *h/ 2

a would be 13 b would b 31 and h would be 16 : (13+31) * 16/2

now you will have 44*16/2

now you have 704/2

your final answer is 352

Answer 2

`352\ ft ^2`

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

`A=(b_1+b_2)/(2)*h`

In this case
`b_1 b_2` represent the two bases of the trapezoid.

We can plug in the given lengths into the equation:

`A=(13+31)/(2)*16=(44)/(2)*16=22*16=352\ ft^2`
