Find The Area Of The Trapezoid A 168 In2 B 945 Ft2 C 72 Ft2 D 84 Ft2 class=

Sagot :

Answer:

D. 84 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area of a trapezoid:

[tex]A=\frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex]

where a and b = bases and h = height

The trapezoid shown has the following dimensions

base 1 = 9ft

base 2 = 12ft

height = 8ft

Using the following information we plug in the values into the formula

[tex]A=\frac{9+12}{2} \\9+12=21\\\frac{21}{2} =10.5\\10.5*8=84[/tex]

Hence, the area of the trapezoid is 84ft² and your answer is D
