What is the area of a trapezoid that has a base length of 13 in., a base length of 7 in., and a height of 12 in.?

Answer 1

The area of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula:

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

Plugging in the values:

Area = 1/2 * (13 + 7) * 12
Area = 1/2 * 20 * 12
Area = 10 * 12
Area = 120 square inches

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 120 square inches.
