Answer:
Area, A = 63.6 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
A trapezoid refers to a quadrilateral that is convex in shape; as such it has no equal sides and no parallel sides.
Let the height of a trapezoid be h.
Let the top base of a trapezoid be b1.
Let the bottom base of a trapezoid be b2.
Therefore,
Given the following data;
Length, b1 = 5 yards
Width, b2 = 5.6 yards
Height, h = 12 yard
To find the area of geometrical shape (trapezoid), we would use the above formula;
A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) * h
Substituting into the formula, we have;
A = ½ * (5 + 5.6) * 12
A = ½ * (10.6)*12
A = 5.3 * 12
Area, A = 63.6 square yards
