Lina is covering a wall in her attic with wallpaper. The wall is trapezoid-shaped with top and bottom bases of 14 feet and 20 feet. The height of the wall is 8 feet. How much wallpaper will she need to cover the wall?
We are tasked to solve for the area of the trapezoid-shaped attic and the formula that we can use is shown below: Area = ((a+b)/2)*h where "a and b" is for the base and "h" is for the height
We have the given values: a=14 feet b=20 feet h=8 feet
Solving for the area: Area =(14+20)/2 *8 Area = 136 feet²
