To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (a + b) * h
Where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezoid, and h is the height.
In this case, the lengths of the parallel sides are 19 in (top) and 29.2 in (bottom), and the height is 12.6 in.
So, the area of the trapezoid is:
Area = (1/2) * (19 + 29.2) * 12.6
Area = (1/2) * 48.2 * 12.6
Area = 24.1 * 12.6
Area = 303.66 square inches
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 303.66 square inches.
Area = (1/2) * (a + b) * h
Where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezoid, and h is the height.
In this case, the lengths of the parallel sides are 19 in (top) and 29.2 in (bottom), and the height is 12.6 in.
So, the area of the trapezoid is:
Area = (1/2) * (19 + 29.2) * 12.6
Area = (1/2) * 48.2 * 12.6
Area = 24.1 * 12.6
Area = 303.66 square inches
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 303.66 square inches.
