7.4 ft.
4.1 ft.
Area:
ft2
10.1 ft.



Answer :

Answer:

35.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolutely, I can help you with that.

The area of a trapezoid can be found using the following formula:

 Area = (sum of the bases) * (height) / 2

where:

* base1 and base2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid

* height is the perpendicular distance between the two bases

In this case, the bases are 10.1 ft and 4.1 ft, and the height is 7.4 ft.

Let's calculate the area:

Area = ((10.1 ft + 4.1 ft) * 7.4 ft) / 2

Area = (14.2 ft * 7.4 ft) / 2

Area = 105.28 ft² (round to nearest tenth: 35.9 ft²)

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is approximately 35.9 square feet.
