Find the area of the trapezoid shown
8m 3m 4m
The area of the trapezoid is 24 m^2.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (sum of the bases) * height
In this case, the bases are 8m and 4m, and the height is 3m. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = (1/2) * (8m + 4m) * 3m
Area = (1/2) * 12m * 3m
Area = 6m * 3m
Area = 18 square meters
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 18 square meters.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you need to know the lengths of both bases and the height. In this case, the lengths of the bases are given as 8m and 4m, and the height is given as 3m.
To find the area, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height
Using the given values, you can substitute them into the formula and solve:
Area = (1/2) * (8m + 4m) * 3m
= (1/2) * (12m) * 3m
= (6m) * 3m
= 18m^2
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid shown is 18 square meters.
