Find the area of the trapezoid where a and b are the lengths of the bases and h is the perpendicular distance between the bases. Let a = $10$ inches, b = $60$ inches, and h = $28$ inches. A) Area = 980 in ² B) Area = 16,800 in ² C) Area = 1,092 in ² D) Area = 8,400 in ² E) Area = 440 in ²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula $\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h$, where $a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the bases, and $h$ is the height. Substituting the given values, $\frac{1}{2}(10+60) \times 28 = 35 \times 28 = 980$ square inches.
