Answer 1

The given shape is a trapezoid.

It is required to find the area.

Recall that the area of a trapezoid with base lengths a and b, and height, h is given as:

`A=(1)/(2)(a+b)h`

Substitute a=8.4, b=4.2, and h=3.6 into the formula:

`A=(1)/(2)(8.4+4.2)3.6=(1)/(2)(12.6)(3.6)=22.68\text{ yd}^2`

The Area is 22.68.

The unit for the area is yd².
