Question

/im running out of points oh no!/A doghouse is to be built in the shape of a right trapezoid, as shown below. What is the area of the doghouse?

Answer 1

the equation is
.5height(top+bottom)
so...
2.5*13= 32.5 units squared

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the doghouse is $32.5\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of trapezoid is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h$

where

b1,b2 are the parallel bases of trapezoid

h is the height of trapezoid

in this problem we have

$b1=5\ ft$

$b2=5+3=8\ ft$

$h=5\ ft$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(5+8)5=32.5\ ft^{2}$
