8 ft²
16 ft²
4 ft²
6ft²
To find the area of the triangle, we need to calculate the base (b) and the height (h).
From the image, the base appears to be 4 ft and the height appears to be 4 ft as well.
Now, plug the values into the area formula for a triangle:
A = ½ (b × h)
A = ½ (4 ft × 4 ft)
A = ½ (16 ft²)
A = 8 ft²
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 8 ft².
Find the area of this trapezoid.
*Remember the area formula for trapezoids is:
A= ½ (base 1 + base 2) h

120 mi²
To find the area of the trapezoid, we need to calculate the bases (base 1 and base 2) and the height (h).
From the image, base 1 appears to be 7 mi, base 2 appears to be 13 mi, and the height appears to be 8 mi.
Now, plug the values into the area formula for a trapezoid:
A = ½ (base 1 + base 2) h
A = ½ (7 mi + 13 mi) × 8 mi
A = ½ (20 mi) × 8 mi
A = 10 mi x 8 mi
A = 80 mi²
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 80 mi².
80 isnt one of the options..
Apologies for the oversight. Let's recalculate the area of the trapezoid.
Given:
Base 1 = 7 mi
Base 2 = 13 mi
Height = 8 mi
Using the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
A = ½ (base 1 + base 2) h
A = ½ (7 mi + 13 mi) x 8 mi
A = ½ (20 mi) x 8 mi
A = 10 mi x 8 mi
A = 80 mi²
Since 80 mi² is not among the options, let's reevaluate our calculations.
Consider the possibility that the trapezoid has a slant height or the sides are not perpendicular to the base.
Without further measurements or information, it may be challenging to accurately determine the area within the given options.
