Problem

A trapezoid-shaped parking lot is 8 meters across from 1 parallel side to the other. One
of the parallel sides is 12 meters and the opposite side measures 9 meters. What is the
area of the parking lot?

answer to the problem?
8m

9m

A = ½ (b1 + b2) h

= ½ (12m + 9m) 8m

= 21 X 8 = 168

= 168 divided by 2

A = 84m

Answer: the area of the parking lot is 84 meters.

Reason: I will use area of a trapezoid to solve the problem because
