Andrew wants to make a decorative placemat in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid with a height of 24 inches and bases of 36 inches and 30 inches. What is the area of the placemat?

Respuesta :

To find the area of the placemat, you will use the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid.

A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h
      1/2(36 + 30)24
A = 792 square inches

The area of the placemat is 792 square inches.
