what is the area OF THE QUADRILATERAL 12 inches length and 16 inches height

1 answer

To find the area of a quadrilateral with a length of 12 inches and a height of 16 inches, you can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

Area = (1/2) * (a + b) * h

Where:
a = length of one base (12 inches)
b = length of the other base (0 in this case as it's not a trapezoid)
h = height (16 inches)

Plugging in the values:

Area = (1/2) * (12) * 16
Area = 6 * 16
Area = 96 square inches

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 96 square inches.
