Answer:

B

Explanation:

greater base = 6 + 1 = 7 m

Area = [(greater base + minor base) * height] / 2 = [(7+5) * 3]/2 =18 m^2

Answer:

18 m^2

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2)h where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height

A = 1/2 ( 5 + (6+1)) * 3

A = 1/2 ( 5+7)*3

= 1/2 (12)3

= 18
