Zaire wants to sod his lawn, which is shaped like a trapezoid. The bases are 4.9 yards and 4.7 yards,

and the height is 20 yards. How many square yards of sod does he need?

Answer 1

96 square yards

Explanation:

whenever to see the word square

they usually mean area

area of a trapezoid = height times (base1 + base2)÷2

area of a trapezoid = 20 times (4.9 + 4.7)÷2

area of a trapezoid = 20 times (9.6)÷2

area of a trapezoid = 20 times 4.8

area of a trapezoid = 96
