Answer:
[tex]A=75.37\ m^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The base of a trapezoid, b = 21.6 m
Height of the trapezoid, h = 4.5 m
The tope of the trapezoid, a = 11.9 m
We need to find the area of a trapezoid. The formula for the area of a trapezoid can be given by :
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (sum\ of\ parallel\ sides)\times height[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (21.6+11.9)\times 4.5\\\\=75.37\ m^2[/tex]
Hence, the area of a trapezoid is equal to [tex]75.37\ m^2[/tex].
