What is the area of the following trapezoid in square feet?
135 ft^2
165 ft^2
82.5 ft^2
64.9 ft^2

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be 82.5 because the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is,
A=a+b /2 h,
Put the numbers in place,
A=15+7/2 7.5,
A=82.5

Answer 2

135 ft^2

Explanation:

7yd = 7*3 feet = 21 feet

`area \: of \: trapezoid \\ = (1)/(2) (15 + 21) * 7.5 \\ = (1)/(2) * 36 * 7.5 \\ = 18 * 7.5 \\ = 135 {feet}^(2)`
