The area of the given trapezoid is 60 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The trapezoid's area is calculated by adding the base lengths and multiplying it with the trapezoid's height and [tex]\frac{1}{2} .[/tex]
The trapezoid's area, [tex]A = (sum of the lengths)(\frac{height}{2})[/tex]
Here the sum of the base lengths is given as 15 inches.
Step 2:
In the given problem, the sum of the base lengths is 15 inches and the height of the trapezoid is 8 inches.
The trapezoid's area [tex]A = (15)(\frac{8}{2} )= (15)(4) = 60.[/tex]
So the area of the given trapezoid is 60 square inches.
