Answer:219.96 yd²
Explanation:The area of the trapezoid can be calculated using the following rule:Area of trapezoid =

where:
b1 is the length of the first base
b2 is the length of the second base
h is the height
Now, in the given we have:b1 = 15.8 yd
b2 = 21.8 yd
h = 11.7 yd
Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the area as follows:area =

Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The length of the legs is 8.64cm and 14.64cm respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
I've added an attachment to aid my explanation.
At different intervals, I'll be making reference to it.
Given



From the attachment, we have:

Since, M is the Midpoint

Substitute 17 for AB


Also, from the attachment


Substitute 8.5 for y


--------- (1)
Also, from the attachment

Substitute 8.5 for z


----------- (2)
Subtract (2) from (1)


Make x the subject

Apply Pythagoras Theorem:
We have that:

The above can be replaced with
(see attachment)

Substitute 6 + w for x




Reorder

Solve using quadratic equation:

Where







Split:
or 
or 
or 
But length can't be negative
So:

Recall that: 


<em>Hence, the length of the legs is 8.64cm and 14.64cm respectively</em>
