Answer:
50 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the area in square inches of the trapezoid below.
Area of a trapezoid = 1/2(b1 + b2) h
Where
b1 = First base = 8in
b2 = Second base = 12in
h = Height = 5in
Area of trapezoid = 1/2(8 + 12) × 5
= 1/2 × 20 × 5
= 50 in²
The area of the trapezoid is 50 square inches
