Given:
Height of trapezoid = 7m
Base of trapezoid = 4m
Base of trapezoid = 6m
Find-: Area of a trapezoid.
Sol:
Area of a trapezoid is:
[tex]A=\frac{(a+b)}{2}h[/tex]Where,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Height \lparen h\rparen = 7m} \\ \\ \text{Base\lparen a\rparen = 4m} \\ \\ \text{Base\lparen b\rparen = 6m} \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the area is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{(a+b)}{2}\times h \\ \\ A=\frac{(4+6)}{2}\times7 \\ \\ A=\frac{10}{2}\times7 \\ \\ A=5\times7 \\ \\ A=35\text{ m}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the area is 35
