Question

Duc has a trapezoid shaped section of his yard fenced off for his pets. The lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezoid are 8 feet and 14 feet. The height of the trapezoid section is 4 feet. What is the area of the trapezoid section of the yard

Answer 1

Area of the trapezoid = 1/2(B+b)h

where

B= length of the longer side of the trapezoid which is equal to 14 ft

b= shorter shorter side of the trapezoid which equal 8 ft

h = height of the trapezoid which is equal to 4 ft

Area of the trapezoid = 1/2 (14+8)4

Area of the trapezoid yard fence of Duc is 44ft^2
