Question

Find the area of this trapezoid. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer6 yd9 yd15 yd18 yd

Answer 1

The area formula of a trapezoid is

`A=(h)/(2)(b_1+b_2)`

where b1 = 6 yd, b2 = 18 yd and h = 9 yd

Using the formula above :

`\begin{gathered} A=(9)/(2)(6+18) \\ A=108 \end{gathered}`

The answer is 108 yd^2
