The area of the trapezoid having parallel sides 3 feet and 5 feet and height 1.5 feet is 6 ft.^2
Area of trapezoid:
Trapezoid or trapezium is a quadrilateral having two parallel sides and two non parallel sides
The area of the trapezoid is = [tex]\frac{a+b}{2}.h[/tex]
where a and b are the length of the parallel sides and h be the height
How to find area of the trapezoid?
Here we have given that
a = 3 feet , b = 5 feet and height h = 1.5 feet
Therefore from the above formula
Area = [tex]\frac{3+5}{2}.(1.5) = 4(1.5) = 6[/tex]
Therefore the required area is 6 ft^2
This is the final answer.
