<PRE><B>Question 61353</B>
find the area of the given trapezoid.
9 in across the top.3in inside vertical ,11in bottom.
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is:
{{{highlight(A=h(b1+b2)/2)}}}, A=area, h=height, b1=base1 and b2=base2
b1=9 in
h=3 in
b2=11 in
Units for area in inches is in^2
{{{A=(3)(9+11)/2}}}
{{{A=(3)(20)/2}}}
{{{A=3(10)}}}
{{{highlight(A=30in^2)}}}
Happy Calculating!!!</PRE>
