What is the area, in square inches, of the trapezoid below?

17.7 in
9.4 in
8.6 in

1 answer

The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is:

Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height

Plugging in the given values:
Area = (1/2) * (17.7 + 9.4) * 8.6
Area = (1/2) * 27.1 * 8.6
Area = 0.5 * 232.06
Area = 116.03 square inches

So, the area of the trapezoid is 116.03 square inches.
