The front face of a laundry basket is in the shape of a trapezoid as shown. A trapezoid has a base of 24 inches, height of 12 inches, and top side length of 20 inches. What is the area of the front face of the laundry basket? 252 square inches 264 square inches 288 square inches 336 square inches

264 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters given:

Base, b = 24 inches

Height, h = 12 inches

Top side length, a = 20 inches

We are told that the front face of the basket is in the shape of a trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is:

A = ½ * (a + b) * h

The area of the front face of the basket is:

A = ½ * (20 + 24) * 12

A = ½ * 44 * 12

A = 264 in²

The area of the front face of the basket is 264 in².
