The bases of a trapezoid are 16.8 yards and 6.9 yards. If the height is 2 yards, what is the area of the trapezoid?

a- 9.9 yd2
b- 19.8 yd2
c- 23.7 yd2
d- 47.4 yd2

Respuesta :

Answer: option c

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use this formula:

[tex]A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)[/tex]

Where "h" is the height of the trapezoid, "B" is the larger base and "b" is the smaller base.

You know that:

[tex]B=16.8yd\\b=6.9yd\\h=2yd[/tex]

Then you need to substitute these values into the formula  [tex]A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)[/tex].

Therefore, the area of this trapezoid is:

 [tex]A=\frac{2yd}{2}(16.8yd+6.9yd)[/tex]

 [tex]A=23.7yd^2[/tex]

Answer:

23.7 yd2
