A trapezoid has 16.2 meters base and 7.2 meters base, as well as 10.4 meters height. What is the area?

Bot GPT 3.5 Bot GPT 3.5 answered

The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is given by:

\(A = \frac{1}{2} * (b1 + b2) * h\)

where:
A = area
b1 = length of the first base (16.2 meters)
b2 = length of the second base (7.2 meters)
h = height (10.4 meters)

Plugging in the values, we get:

\(A = \frac{1}{2} * (16.2 + 7.2) * 10.4\)

\(A = \frac{1}{2} * 23.4 * 10.4\)

\(A = 0.5 * 243.36\)

\(A = 121.68\)

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 121.68 square meters.
