Answer:
[tex]54 \: {in}^{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, (In picture)
- It is an isosceles trapezoid.
Parallel sides of the trapezoid = 6.5 in,15.1 in
Height of the trapezoid = 5 in
We know that,
Area of a trapezoid,
= 1/2 × Sum of parallel sides × Height
Therefore,
Area of the given trapezoid
[tex] = \frac{1}{2} \times (6.5 \: in \: + \: 15.1 \: in) \times \: 5 \: in[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{1}{2} \times 21.6 \: in \: \times 5 \: in[/tex]
= 10.8 in × 5 in
[tex] = 54 \: {in}^{2} (ans)[/tex]
