Given Information :
- Length of parallel sides = 60 ft and 40 ft
- Height of the trapezoid = 30 ft
To calculate :
Calculation :
As we know that,
[tex]\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf {Area_{(Trapezium)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times ( a + b) \times h}} \\ [/tex]
- a and b are length of parallel sides.
- h denotes height.
Substituting values, we get :
[tex] \longmapsto [/tex] Area = [tex]\sf \dfrac{1}{2} [/tex] × ( 60 + 40 ) × 30 ft[tex] \sf ^2 [/tex]
[tex] \longmapsto [/tex] Area = [tex]\sf \dfrac{1}{2} [/tex] × 100 × 30 ft[tex] \sf ^2 [/tex]
[tex] \longmapsto [/tex] Area = 1 × 100 × 15 ft[tex] \sf ^2 [/tex]
[tex] \longmapsto [/tex] Area = 100 × 15 ft[tex] \sf ^2 [/tex]
[tex] \longmapsto [/tex] Area = 1500 ft[tex] \sf ^2 [/tex]
Therefore,
- Area of the trapezoid is 1500 ft[tex] \sf ^2 [/tex]
