The bases of a trapezoid are 24 feet and 16 feet. The height of the trapezoid is 12 feet. What is the area of the trapezoid?

The formula to use is A = (b1+b2) h if one base is 24 and the other one is 16 which equals to 40 when you add then you still have H which is 12 so you could either divide 12 by two to get half or multiply by 12 and then divide it

40•12=480

480 divided by 2 = 240

Your final answer should be 240ft
