Answer:

The area would be 168ft. The rectangle's area would be 144ft, and the triangle's area would be 24ft.

Rectangle:

18×8=144

Triangle:

8×3=24

Answer:

The area is 168

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of trying to find the area of the trapezoid, you can easily figure out the area of the rectangle and triangle present in the picture.

first, multiply 18 by 8 to get the area of the rectangle. 18 x 8 = 144

Then, use the equation for area of triangle L x W/ 2 = A

(6 x 8)/2 = 24

add these 2 values.

24 + 144

168 is your final  answer
