First, plug in the given values into the formula:
A = ½ (16.2 + 7.2) * 10.4
Calculate the sum in the parentheses first:
A = ½ (23.4) * 10.4
A = 11.7 * 10.4
A = 121.68
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 121.68 square meters.
A trapezoid has 16.2 meters base and 7.2 meters base, as well as 10.4 meters height. What is the area?
*Remember the area formula for trapezoids is:
A= ½ (base 1 + base 2) h
