Find the area of the figure below 12m 8m 16m
To find the area of the figure, we first need to determine if it can be divided into simpler shapes.
The figure appears to be a trapezoid with two right angles at the top left and top right corners, and two sides of lengths 12m and 8m forming the top base of the trapezoid. The bottom base of the trapezoid is 16m long.
To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the formula:
Area = 0.5 * (b1 + b2) * h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases of the trapezoid, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
In this case, b1 = 12m, b2 = 16m, and h = 8m. Plugging the values into the formula, we get:
Area = 0.5 * (12 + 16) * 8
Area = 0.5 * 28 * 8
Area = 14 * 8
Area = 112 square meters
Therefore, the area of the figure is 112 square meters.
