Answer:
The area of trapezoid is 88 ft ² .
Step-by-step explanation:
The, area of trapezoid is given by
= 1 / 2 ( Base ¹ + Base ² ) × Height
Where,
Base ¹ and Base ² are the length of parrallel side and Height is the perpendicular distance between them.
1 / 2 ( Base ¹ + Base ² ) × Height
Where, given that
- Base ¹ = 19 ft
- Base ² = 25 ft
- Height = 4 ft
Substitute the values
Area = 1 / 2 × ( 19 ft + 25 ft ) × 4 ft
add the both parallel sides of trapezoid
Area = 1 / 2 × 44 ft × 4 ft
multiply the values , we get
Area = 176 ft ²/ 2
Divide and we get
Area of trapezoid = 88 ft ²
Therefore, the area of trapezoid is 88 ft ².
