Bot a trapezoid is shown, with dimensions in feet (ft). Base 1 = 7 ft, height = 4 ft, base 2 = 1 ft What is the area, in square feet, of the trapezoid?
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is given by:
Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height
Substituting the given values:
Area = (1/2) * (7 ft + 1 ft) * 4 ft
Area = (1/2) * 8 ft * 4 ft
Area = 4 ft * 4 ft
Area = 16 square feet
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 16 square feet.
