Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a shape is the amount of space it can occupy.Laura's design will be light enoughThe shape is given as a trapezium (see attachment).First, calculate the height (h) of the trapezium using the following Pythagoras theorem 52=h2+x2 Where: x=11−92=1 So, we have: 52=h2+x2 52=h2+1225=h2+1 Collect like terms h2=25−1  h2=24 Take square root sh=4.90The area of the shape is then calculated as follows: Area=12(11+9)×h Area=12(11+9)x4.90  Area=12×20×4.90  Area=10×4.90  Area=49

The area of the shape is 49 square inches.Hence, the shape will be light enough (because 49 is less than 80
