A new park is being built in the shape of a trapezoid, as show in the diagram below.

The builders will cover the ground with a solid rubber surface to ensure the children playing have a safe and soft place to land when they jump or fall.

How many square yards of rubber will be needed for this park?



Here is an example of how to solve for area of a trapezoid.

Please type only the number of square yards in the answer box. Your answer may include a decimal. Do not round.

Formula: A= 12 (b1 +b2)(h)

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me calculate the correct answer for you.

Given that the area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula:
A = 0.5 * (b1 + b2) * h

In this case, we need to calculate the area of the trapezoid park to determine the amount of rubber needed.

The dimensions of the trapezoid park are:
b1 = 70 yards
b2 = 40 yards
h = 50 yards

Substitute the values into the formula:
A = 0.5 * (70 + 40) * 50
A = 0.5 * 110 * 50
A = 0.5 * 5500
A = 2750 square yards

Therefore, 2750 square yards of rubber will be needed for the park. Thank you for pointing out the error.
