Find the area of this trapezoid.
*Remember the area formula for trapezoids is: A= ½ (base 1 + base 2)
a. 23 mi²
b. 58 mi²
c. 60 mi²
d. 120 mi²
If the bases are not provided, we cannot calculate the area of this trapezoid.
base 1 is 5 miles
base 2 is 10 miles
and that h is 8 miles
Using the formula A = 1/2 (base 1 + base 2) * h, we can calculate the area of the trapezoid:
A = 1/2 (5 + 10) * 8
A = 1/2 (15) * 8
A = 7.5 * 8
A = 60 mi²
The area of the trapezoid is 60 mi², so the answer is c. 60 mi².
