Question

area of trapezoids practic
area of the following trapezoids:

2)

3)

area = __________

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for trapezoid

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is $A=\frac{(b_1 + b_2)h}{2}$, where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the lengths of the parallel - sides and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Identify values of $b_1$, $b_2$ and $h$

Here, $b_1 = 8$ ft, $b_2=9$ ft and $h = 4$ ft.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$A=\frac{(8 + 9)\times4}{2}=\frac{17\times4}{2}$.

Step4: Calculate the result

$\frac{17\times4}{2}=\frac{68}{2}=34$ square feet.

Answer:

34 square feet
