Answer 1

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,

`A=(a+b)/(2)\cdot h`

Substitute the given value in the formula to obtain the area of trapezoid.

`\begin{gathered} A=((1)/(4)+(3)/(4))/(2)\cdot(2)/(3) \\ =((1+3)/(4))/(2)\cdot(2)/(3) \\ =(1)/(2)\cdot(2)/(3) \\ =(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

So area of trapezoid is 1/3 square yards.
