Question

Find the area of the trapezoid.

Short answer

The area of the given figure is$1837.5{\text{in}}^2$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given Information.

The given figure is,

Step 2. Formula used.

The formula of area of ttrapezoid is defined as,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left(\text{Sum of parallel sides}\right)\times \text{Height}$

Step 3. Calculation.

The parallel sides are 35 in., 70 in. and height is of 35 in.

Substitute the values in the formula.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left(35+70\right)\times 35\\ =\frac{1}{2}\times 105\times 35\\ =1837.5{\text{in}}^2\end{array}$
