Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
Let's first establish the formula of a trapezoid which we will require to solve this problem as displayed below:
Area of a trapezoid = [ h ( a + b ) ] / 2
Now let's substitute the values from the problem into the formula in order to obtain the area of the trapezoid.
h = 1 / 4 ft
a = 2 ft
b = 3 ft
A = [ h ( a + b ) ] / 2
A = [ ( 1 / 4 ) ( 2 + 3 ) ] / 2
A = [ ( 1 / 4 ) ( 5 ) ] / 2
A = ( 5 / 4 ) / 2
A = 5 / 8 square feet
ANSWER:
Therefore, the answer is:
The area of the trapezoid is 5 / 8 square feet.
