A garden plot turned out to be a trapezoid whose parallel sides
measured 18 feet and 42 feet respectively. The garden is 12 feet wide.
What is the area of the garden plot?
Select one:
n
O a. 720 ft?
b. 9,072 ft2
O c. 42 ft?
O d. 360 ft

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Trapezoid area is the Average of the parallel lines times the width

A = ½(18 + 42)(12) = 360 ft²

The area of the garden plot is 360 ft².

What is Trapezoid?

A trapezoid is a four-sided closed 2D figure which has an area and its perimeter. Two sides of the shape are parallel to each other and they are termed as the bases of the trapezoid.

Here, the length of parallel sides = 18ft. and 42 ft.

         Width of plot = 12 ft.

Area of Trapezoid = 1/2 X (b₁+b₂) X h

                              = 1/2 X (18 + 42) X 12

                              = 6 X 60

                             = 360 sq. ft.

Thus, the area of the garden plot is 360 ft².
