Area of ditch

How great will an area have a section of the trapezoidal ditch with a width of 1.6 meters above and below 0.57 meters? The depth of the ditch is 2.08 meters.

Correct answer:

x =  2.2568 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=1.6\text{m} \\ c=0.57\text{m} \\ h=2.08\text{m} \\ x=\frac{a+c}{2}\cdot h=\frac{1.6+0.57}{2}\cdot 2.08=2.2568{\text{m}}^2 \end{gathered}$$
