This file has came in handy for me this past year.  You might want so save it for future reference.  Just plug in the numbers and solve

$Area = \dfrac{(b_1 + b_2) \times h}{2}$

igreen · Answer

$Area = \dfrac{(b_1 + b_2) \times h}{2}$

We are given the height and the two bases. So input them into the formula:

$Area = \dfrac{(124 + 81) \times 75}{2}$

Add:

$Area = \dfrac{205 \times 75}{2}$

Multiply:

$Area = \dfrac{15,375}{2}$

Divide:

$Area = 7687.5$
