A doghouse is to be built in the shape of a right trapezoid, as shown below. What is the area of the doghouse? A right trapezoid with top side 7 feet and height 7 feet. The bottom side is extended to the right with 5 more feet.

Question
Answer:
First we will find the total measure of the second base.

Second base is extended more so that meas it will measure extended part plus the first base.

Second base = 7 + 5 = 12.

Now for the area.

A = 1/2(b1+b2)(h)
A = 1/2(7 + 12)(7)
A = 66.5

The area is 66.5 ft²

Hope this helps :)
