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.
