Answer:
Area of trapezoid = 262.5 inches²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Larger Base = [tex]36\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches = 36.5 inches
Smaller Base = [tex]13\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches = 13.5 inches
Height of trapezoid = [tex]10\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches = 10.5 inches
Find:
Area of trapezoid
Computation:
Area of trapezoid = [Sum of parallel line / 2]Height
Area of trapezoid = [(a+b) / 2]h
Area of trapezoid = [(36.5 + 13.5) / 2]10.5
Area of trapezoid = [(50) / 2]10.5
Area of trapezoid = [25]10.5
Area of trapezoid = 262.5 inches²
