Question
find the area of a trapezoid with 7in on top 6in somewhere inside and 12in on the bottom
A=12(b1 +b2)(h)
Given:
b1 = 7in
b2 = 6in
h = 6in
To find the area of the trapezoid, we use the formula:
A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h
Substitute the given values:
A = 1/2(7 + 6)6
A = 1/2(13)6
A = 6.5 * 6
A = 39 square inches
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 39 square inches.
