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

$A=\frac{h}{2}(b_1+b_2)$

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

Using the formula above :

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

The answer is 108 yd^2
