To find the area of the trapezoid, we can use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * (sum of parallel sides) * height
In this case, the sum of the parallel sides is (left side + right side) = (4 + 5) = 9.
Thus, the area can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * (9) * 15 = 67.5
So, the area of Becca's backyard trapezoid is 67.5 square units.
Area = 1/2 * (sum of parallel sides) * height
In this case, the sum of the parallel sides is (left side + right side) = (4 + 5) = 9.
Thus, the area can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * (9) * 15 = 67.5
So, the area of Becca's backyard trapezoid is 67.5 square units.
