Find the area of the figure below.
trapzoid top 12 in bottom 16 in hiehgt 8 in
O a. 18 m?
O b. 36 m2
O c. 112 m?
O d. 224 m?
To find the area of a trapezoid, you use the formula:
Area = (1/2) × (top + bottom) × height
Plugging in the given values:
Area = (1/2) × (12 + 16) × 8
Area = (1/2) × 28 × 8
Area = 14 × 8
Area = 112 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c. 112 m²
