Question

Maria's front yard is shaped like a trapezoid with the dimension 5ft 4ft and 7ft . What is the area of her front yard.

Answer 1

The area of her front yard is 31.5 ft².

Explanation:

Given:

Maria's front yard is shaped like a trapezoid with the dimension 5ft, 4ft and 7ft.

Now, to find the area of her front yard.

Dimension of front yard:

Base (a) = 5 ft.

Second base (b) = 4 ft.

Height (h) = 7 ft.

So, to getting the area of trapezoid we put formula:

`Area\ of\ trapezoid=(a+b)/(2) h`

`Area=(5+4)/(2) * 7`

`Area=(9)/(2) * 7`

`Area=4.5* 7`

`Area=31.5\ ft^2.`

Therefore, the area of her front yard is 31.5 ft².
