A = 1(61+62) (1)

Question

Find the area of the figure below.
12m
8m
16m

a. 18 m
B. 36m
C 112m
d. 224m

Answer 1

To find the area of the figure, we first need to calculate the area of the trapezoid using the formula:

A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)

Given:
h = height = 16m
b1 = 12m
b2 = 8m

Substitute these values into the formula:
A = (1/2)(16)(12 + 8)
A = (1/2)(16)(20)
A = 160m

Now, substitute this value into equation (1):
A = 1(61 + 62)
A = 1(123)
A = 123m

Therefore, the area of the figure is 123m.
