Question

Pls answer this I really need help

Answer 1

320 ft²

Explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

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

where h is the perpendicular height and a, b are the parallel bases

Here h = 16, a = 18 and b = 12 , thus

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 16 × (18 + 12) = 8 × 40 = 320 ft²
