Question

The courtyard behind Jennie's house is shaped like a trapezoid. The bases measure 8 meters and 11 meters. The height of the trapezoid is 12 meters. What is the area of the courtyard?

Answer 1

Area of the trapezoid=
1/2(b1+b2)×2

A=1/2(8+11)×12
A=1/2(19)×12
A=6×19
A=114 square meters. As a result, the area of the courtyard is 114 square meters. Hope it help!
