Answer:
103.5 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a right trapezoid, you can decompose it into a rectangle and a triangle. The sum of the area of the rectangle and the triangle gives the area of the trapezoid.
For the right trapezoid attached below, the area can be gotten by:
Area of rectangle = length × breadth = 9 × 8 = 72 m²
Area of triangle = 1/2(base × height) = 0.5 × 7 × 9 = 31.5 m²
Area of trapezoid = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle = 72 m² + 31.5 m² = 103.5 m²
