Chapter 10: Q.18 (page 551)

The height of trapezoid is 2 feet. One of the bases is three times the height, and the other base is four times the height. Find the area of the trapezoid.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The area of the trapezoid is14feet2.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The height is 2 feet and one bases is three times to height, and other base is four times to height.

02

Step 2. Formula used.

The formula of area of trapezoid is defined as,

Area=12×Sum of parallel sides×Height

03

Step 3. Calculation.

Find the both base by using height.

b1=3×height=32=6feet

And,

b2=4×height=42=8feet

Substitute the values in the area formula.

Area=126+8×2=12×14×2=14feet2

04

Step 4. Conclusion.

Therefore, the required area is14feet2.
