Question

HELP!!! I'm so confused!!!!

Answer 1

Yes it is a Trapezoid. First, find Perimeter (P), since it's easiest. P = sum of all 4 sides, so:
P = 9.8 + 3.5 + 6.53 + 6.33 = 26.16 yds
Lastly, we need the Area (A) of a trap., which is the average of the parallel bases (usually top and bottom) multiplied by height (h). In our case a1 & a2, and average means add them then divide by 2, so our formula becomes:
A = [(a1+a2)/2]×h
A = [(9.8+3.5)/2]×5.6
A = 37.24 sq.yds.
