What is the area the front bottom base is 9 inches the middle length is 8 inches and the top length is 6 inches so what is our total area in square inches
To calculate the total area of this trapezoidal shape, you can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid, which is given by:
Area = 1/2 * (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) * (height)
In this case, the lengths of the parallel sides are 9 inches and 6 inches, and the height is the difference in length between the top and bottom lengths, which is 2 inches (8 inches - 6 inches).
Therefore, the total area is:
Area = 1/2 * (9 + 6) * 2
Area = 1/2 * 15 * 2
Area = 7.5 * 2
Area = 15 square inches
So, the total area of the trapezoidal shape is 15 square inches.
