Question

Find the area of the figure ​

Answer 1

22.3 is the answer

`(a+b)/(2)*h` =
`(1.9+5.9)/(2) *5.7 = (7.8)/(2) * 5.7 = 3.9 * 5.7 = 22.23`

Answer 2

22.23 yd²

Explanation:

The figure is a trapezium and area can be calculated using the formula

A =
`(1)/(2)` h(a + b)

where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases

here h = 5.7, a = 5.9 and b = 1.9

A= 0.5 × 5.7(5.9 + 1.9) = 0.5 × 5.7 × 7.8 = 22.23 yd²
