Answer 1

Given :- The front wall of your shed is in the shape of a trapezoid. The bottom measures 12 feet, the top measures 10 feet, and the height is 6 feet. Calculate the area of the front wall of your shed.

a. 60 sq. ft

c. 72 sq. ft

b. 56 sq. ft

d. 66 sq. ft

Answer :-

→ Area of front wall = Area of trapezium

→ Area of front wall = (1/2)[top measure + bottom measure] * height .

→ Area of front wall = (1/2)[10 + 12] * 6

→ Area of front wall = (1/2) * 22 * 6

→ Area of front wall = 11 * 6

→ Area of front wall = 66 ft² (D) (Ans.)
