Hey guys! So, I really need help on this question.

Question

So, the image is a picture of a trapezoid with the top measuring 5.9m and the height measuring 4.6m and the base measuring 16.3m the answer choices are......
A. 51.06m^2
B. 74.98m^2
C. 27.14m^2
D. 102.12m^2
So what I did first was multiply the b x h (4.6 x 16.3) and I got the answer of 74.98 but when I submitted my answer it said it was wrong so then I tried to do bxh/2 (4.6 x 16.3 divided by 2) and got the answer of 37.49 which wasn't an answer choice.
So then I decided to do the top x the base (5.9 x 16.3) which I got 96.17 which also wasn't an answer choice.
If you can plz give me the answer but explain it to me.
Thank you. :)

Answer 1

I forgot to add that I also did 5.9 x 4.6 which I got the answer of 27.14 but when I submitted it, it said I got it wrong.
(Also, I got all the other questions right, I'm just confused on this one.)

Answer 2

clearly they want the area, which is
A = (b1+b2)/2 * h = (5.9+16.3)/2 * 4.6 = 51.06

Answer 3

Thank you so much!
That was really confusing for some reason.

Answer 4

I still can't believe I missed that.
I'm so dumb.
