Answer: B, 18 m^2

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is
A=(b_(1)+b_(2) )/(2) *h, where a= area, b1=base 1, b2=base 2, and h=height.

Base 1 is 7 because we added the 6 and 1 together. Base 2 is 5. The height is 3.

We can plug our values in and get this equation:


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

Now, we simplify.


A= (12)/(2) * 3


A= 6* 3


A=18

And there you have it! The area of the trapezoid is 18 m^2.

Hope this helped!

18m since 1/2(5+7)3 = 6 x 3 = 18
