Chapter 11, Problem 6PT

To determine

To find: The area of the given figure and round to the nearest tenth.

Answer to Problem 6PT

The area of the given figure is $2256{\text{ft}}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:$$

  

The given figure is a composite figure,

  

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Area of the trapezoid}=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\left(h\right)\to b_1,b_2=\text{bases and }h=\text{height}\\ =\frac{53+41}{2}\left(48\right)\\ =\frac{94}{2}\left(48\right)\\ =47\times 48\\ =2256{\text{ft}}^2\end{array}$

Therefore the area of the given figure is $2256{\text{ft}}^2$ .
