Question
A trapezoid has one pair of opposite parallel sides and one pair of opposite non-parallel sides. The pair of parallel sides has lengths 15 yd. and 19 yd. The non-parallel sides have lengths of 11 yd. and 8 yd. The distance between the parallel sides is 12 yd. What is the area of the trapezoid?(1 point)

To find the area of the trapezoid, we can use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * (sum of lengths of parallel sides) * (distance between parallel sides)
In this case, the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides is 15 yd + 19 yd = 34 yd. The distance between the parallel sides is given as 12 yd.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = 1/2 * 34 yd * 12 yd
Area = 1/2 * 408
Area = 204 square yards
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 204 square yards.
Area = 1/2 * (sum of lengths of parallel sides) * (distance between parallel sides)
In this case, the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides is 15 yd + 19 yd = 34 yd. The distance between the parallel sides is given as 12 yd.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = 1/2 * 34 yd * 12 yd
Area = 1/2 * 408
Area = 204 square yards
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 204 square yards.
