Question

Find the area of this trapezoid. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

The area of trapezoid is 48 m².

Explanation:

You have to apply the area of trapezoid formula, A = 1/2×(a+b)×h where a and b represents the length and h is the height :

`area = (1)/(2) * (a + b) * h`

`let \: a = 3,b = 9,h = 8`

`area = (1)/(2) * (3 + 9) * 8`

`area = (1)/(2) * 12 * 8`

`area = 48 \: {m}^(2)`
