Answer:
Area for Triangle is: 1/2bh or bh/2
Area for Trapezoid (As shown in picture):
1/2h(b1+b2)
You’d have to do 1/2 x 18(15+37) for the quesyion in the picture
Hope this helped!
[tex] area = (\frac{1}{2} (a + b) \times h) \\ \frac{1}{2} \times (15 + 37) \times 18ft \\ \frac{1}{2} \times 52ft \times 18ft \\ divide \: 52 \: by \: 2 \\ 26ft \times 18ft = 468 {ft}^{2} \\ answer = 468 {ft}^{2}[/tex]
