Question

1. area = ____________ 5)

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 of $b_1$, $b_2$ and $h$

Here, $b_1 = 6$ yd, $b_2 = 4$ yd and $h = 5$ yd.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$A=\frac{(6 + 4)\times5}{2}$.
First, calculate the sum in the parentheses: $6+4 = 10$. Then, $A=\frac{10\times5}{2}=\frac{50}{2}=25$ square yards.

Answer:

$25$ square yards
