The base lengths of a trapezoidal coffee table are 6 feet and 8 feet. The height is 5 feet. What is the area of the coffee table?

A = (a+b)h/2

A = 6

B = 8

H = 5

A = (6+8)5/2

A = 14(2.5)

A = 35

The area of the coffee table is 35 sq. feet.

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
