Answer:
104m²
Step-by-step explanation:
we can find the area of a trapezoid from its bases and height in the following formula:
[tex]A=\frac{a + b}{2}h[/tex]
where...
A: area
a: one base
b: other base
h: height
here, we can see that our two bases are 9 and 17, and that our height is 8.
Now, let's plug these values into our formula:
a: 9
b: 17
h: 8
[tex]A=\frac{a + b}{2}h[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac{9 + 17}{2}8[/tex]
Now, we can simplify:
[tex]A=\frac{9 + 17}{2}8[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac{26}{2}8[/tex]
A = 13 · 8
A = 104
so, the area of this trapezoid is 104m²
(note: we write area as squared / in square units)
hope this helps! have a lovely day :)
