Given:
Bases of the trapezoid are 5.2 m and 14.6 m.
The height of the trapezoid is 7 m.
To find:
The area of the trapezoid.
Solution:
The area of a trapezoid is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{a+b}{2}\times h[/tex]
Where, a,b are bases and h is the height of the trapezoid.
Putting [tex]a=5.2,b=14.6,h=7[/tex] in the above formula, we get
[tex]A=\dfrac{5.2+14.6}{2}\times 7[/tex]
[tex]A=\dfrac{19.8}{2}\times 7[/tex]
[tex]A=9.9\times 7[/tex]
[tex]A=69.3[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 69.3 square meters.
