Question

A section of a deck is shaped like a trapezoid. For this section, the length of one base is 65 feet, and the length of the other base is 44 feet. The height is 30 feet. What is the area of this section of the deck? The area for the section of the deck is ft2.

Answer 1

1635 feets²

Explanation:

The Area of a trapezoid is given as :

1/2 (a +b)h

Where ;

a and b are the base of the trapezoid

h = height

From the question :

a = 65 feets

b = 44 feets

h = 30 feets

Area, A = 1/2(65 + 44) * 30

A = 1/2 (109) * 30

A = 1635 feets²
