The parallel side of trapezoid is a = 1/4 and b = 3/4.
The height of trapezoid is h = 2/3.
The formula for the area of trapezoid is,
[tex]A=\frac{a+b}{2}\cdot h[/tex]
Substitute the given value in the formula to obtain the area of trapezoid.
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{4}}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{3} \\ =\frac{\frac{1+3}{4}}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{3} \\ =\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{3} \\ =\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
So area of trapezoid is 1/3 square yards.
