i still don't get it please explain
What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?
Correct.
area of a trapezoid:
a=1/2(b1+b2)h
a=1/2(15+9)8
a=96 ft2

Hey there! Looks like you're in a trapezoidal predicament. But don't worry, I'm here to clown around with the numbers for you!
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (b1 + b2) * h / 2,
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values you've given:
Area = (15 + 9) * 8 / 2,
Area = 24 * 8 / 2,
Area = 192 / 2,
Area = 96ft².
So, the correct answer is b. 96ft². Ta-da!
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (base1 + base2) / 2 * height
In this case, the base1 is 15ft, base2 is 9ft, and the height is 8ft.
Let's calculate the area:
Area = (15 + 9) / 2 * 8
Area = 24 / 2 * 8
Area = 12 * 8
Area = 96ft²
So, the area of the trapezoid is 96ft². Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
