Question 47580: Find the area of the trapezoid: Top: 8ft, Bottom: 12ft. Right side 6ft.(h) I know area= 1/2h(b1 = b2) but still can't get this one. The 2n part of the question asks: if the base formed a solid of 10in high what is the volume? Can someone help me please?

Top: 8ft
Bottom: 12ft
Height: 6ft
Area = h%28b1+%2B+b2%29%2F2 = 6%2812+%2B+8%29%2F2 = 60ft^2
10ft high ~~~> 10 * 60 = 600ft^3
