Question

The bases of a trapezoid are 16.8 yards and 6.9 yards. If the height is 2 yards, what is the area of the trapezoid?

a- 9.9 yd2
b- 19.8 yd2
c- 23.7 yd2
d- 47.4 yd2

Answer 1

23.7 yd2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: option c

Explanation:

You need to use this formula:

`A=(h)/(2)(B+b)`

Where "h" is the height of the trapezoid, "B" is the larger base and "b" is the smaller base.

You know that:

`B=16.8yd\\b=6.9yd\\h=2yd`

Then you need to substitute these values into the formula
`A=(h)/(2)(B+b)`.

Therefore, the area of this trapezoid is:

`A=(2yd)/(2)(16.8yd+6.9yd)`

`A=23.7yd^2`
