Question

8 yd
6 yd
11 yd
area = ______

Explanation:

Step1: Recall trapezoid area formula

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is $A=\frac{(b_1 + b_2)h}{2}$, where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the lengths of the parallel - sides and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Identify values

Here, $b_1 = 8$ yd, $b_2=11$ yd, and $h = 6$ yd.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$A=\frac{(8 + 11)\times6}{2}=\frac{19\times6}{2}$.

Step4: Calculate

$\frac{19\times6}{2}=\frac{114}{2}=57$ square yards.

Answer:

$57$ square yards
