Trapezoid with parallel sides of 15 and 19 and non parallel sides of 11 and 8 and distance between the parallel sides is 12. What is the area
To find the area of the trapezoid, we can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (a + b) * h
where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the distance between the parallel sides.
In this case, a = 15, b = 19, and h = 12.
Area = (1/2) * (15 + 19) * 12
Area = (1/2) * 34 * 12
Area = 17 * 12
Area = 204
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 204 square units.
