Mr. Anderson plans to make a small space for planting flowers on his lawn. The space is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, with a height of 4 feet and bases of 8 feet and 6 feet. What is the area of trapezoid that Mr. Anderson plans to use for planting flowers?

Respuesta :

You can find the area of the trapezoid all space by using the formula for finding area of a trapezoid.

A = 1/2h(b1 + b2)
1/2 x 4(6 + 8)
A = 28 square feet

The space he has for planting flowers is 28 ft.².
