Answer:

38.64 km^2

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:


((b_(1)+b_(2))*h)/(2)

Where b1 and b2 are the bases and h is the height. We are given 2.9 and 10.9 as the bases and 5.6 as the height. We can plug these values into the formula:


((2.9+10.9)*5.6)/(2)

After entering the expression in the calculator, you get:

38.64 km^2

This is the first option.
