This lot has the shape of a trapezoid. Regard the 2 different lengths as 160' and 80' and the width 100'
Applying the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
80' + 160'
A = ----------------- * 100' = 24000 ft^3
2
Answer:
12000 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The lot has the shape of a trapezoid. This means that the area can be find using the formula:
[tex]Area= (\dfrac{B_{1}+B_{2}}{2})h[/tex]
Where [tex]B_{1}[/tex] and [tex]B_{2}[/tex] are the two paralle sides (in this case the front side of 160 feet and, the back side of 80) and, h is the height (the deep of 100 feet). So :
[tex]Area= (\dfrac{160+80}{2})*100[/tex]
[tex]Area= 12000[/tex] square feet.
