Question

the end of the rain gutter has the shape of a trapezoid with the measurements shown. find the area of this end

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the end of the rain gutter is $20\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

$A=(1/2)(b1+b2)h$

In this problem we have

$h=4\ in$

$b1=4\ in$

$b2=6\ in$

substitute

$A=(1/2)(4+6)4=20\ in^{2}$
