To find the area of the swimming pool, we need to use the formula for the area of a trapezoid, which is:
A = 0.5 * (b1 + b2) * h
Where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases, and h is the height.
In this case, the top of the shape is the base b1, which is 7 yd, the bottom of the shape is the base b2, which is 3 yd, and the right side of the shape is the height, which is 8 yd.
Plugging the values into the formula:
A = 0.5 * (7 + 3) * 8
A = 0.5 * 10 * 8
A = 5 * 8
A = 40 square yards
Therefore, the area of the swimming pool is 40 square yards.
B. 30 square yards
A = 0.5 * (b1 + b2) * h
Where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases, and h is the height.
In this case, the top of the shape is the base b1, which is 7 yd, the bottom of the shape is the base b2, which is 3 yd, and the right side of the shape is the height, which is 8 yd.
Plugging the values into the formula:
A = 0.5 * (7 + 3) * 8
A = 0.5 * 10 * 8
A = 5 * 8
A = 40 square yards
Therefore, the area of the swimming pool is 40 square yards.
B. 30 square yards
