Answer:
A = 1296 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as
• A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (b₁ + b₂ )
h is the perpendicular height between the bases b₁ and b₂
here h = 40 , b₁ = 45.9 , b₂ = 18.9 , then
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 40 × (45.9 + 18.9 ) = 20 × 64.8 = 1296 ft²
