Harvey is finding the area that can be divided into 2 trapezoids. the basis of each trapezoid is 14 and 24. the height of each is 8. what is the area of the figure?

Area of the figure is 304 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is divided into two identical trapezoids of height 8 units and bases 14 and 24 units.

Area of a trapezoid = (1/2) * (Sum of base lengths) * height

So, area of 1 one trapezoid = (1/2)*(14+24)*8=152

The area of the figure is twice the area of the trapezoid.

So, area of figure = 2 * 152 = 304 sq. units

∴ Area of the figure is 304 sq. units

i believe the correct answer is b.

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
