Question

question 1
find the area of the following figure:
20.8 in
a. 832 in²
24 in
16 in
b. 768 in²
c. 416 in²
19.2 in
d. 384 in²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the trapezoid area formula

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is \(A=\frac{(a + b)h}{2}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the parallel sides, and \(h\) is the height (the distance between the parallel sides).
Here, \(a = 24\) in, \(b=16\) in, and \(h = 19.2\) in.

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula
