Answer:
[tex]\Huge\boxed{240ft^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
The figure shown is a trapezoid with the following dimensions
base 1 = 12ft
base 2 = 20 ft
height = 15 ft
Given these dimensions we need to find the area
We can do this by using the area of a trapezoid formula
[tex]A=\frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex]
where a and b = bases and h = height
Knowing the dimensions all we have to do is plug in the values
[tex]A=\frac{12+20}{2} 15\\12+20=32\\\frac{32}{2} =16\\16*15=240\\A=240ft^2[/tex]
So we can conclude that the area of the floor that needs to be replaced with tile is 240 ft²
