Question

What is the area in square meters of the trapezoid below​

Answer 1

Given:

Bases of the trapezoid are 5.2 m and 14.6 m.

The height of the trapezoid is 7 m.

To find:

The area of the trapezoid.

Solution:

The area of a trapezoid is:

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

Where, a,b are bases and h is the height of the trapezoid.

Putting
`a=5.2,b=14.6,h=7` in the above formula, we get

`A=(5.2+14.6)/(2)* 7`

`A=(19.8)/(2)* 7`

`A=9.9* 7`

`A=69.3`

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 69.3 square meters.
