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.
A = 1(61+62) (1)
Find the area of the figure below.
