Question

the image of a trapezoid is shown. what is the area of the trapezoid? 20.2 m² 43.4 m² 33.4 m² 86.8 m²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length of the upper base

The upper base \(b_1=4 + 7=11\space m\)

Step2: Use the trapezoid area formula \(A=\frac{(b_1 + b_2)h}{2}\)

Here \(b_2 = 3\space m\), \(h=6.2\space m\), \(b_1 = 11\space m\)
