Answer 1

To find the area of the trapezoid, we will use the formula below:

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

where a and b are the base and h is the height.

From the diagram given, a=7 , b=17 and h = 5.

Substitute the values into the formula and evaluate.

That is;

`A=(7+17)/(2)*5`
`=(24)/(2)*5`
`=12*5`
`=60`

Hence, the area of the trapezoid is 60 yd².
