Find the area of the trapezoid.
A. 1543.5 m2
B. 220.5 m2
C. 294 m2
D. 588 m2
*The trapezoid has a base that is 21 meters long, and a base that is 7 meters long. The trapezoid's height is 21 meters.
Area of your trapezoid = (21)(21+7)/2
Your wording is confusing
I think its 294 meters.

Thanks for the answer. I just needed to check to see if it was right.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the bases) * height
In this case, the length of the first base is 21 meters, the length of the second base is 7 meters, and the height is 21 meters.
Plugging in these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (21 + 7) * 21
= (1/2) * 28 * 21
= 14 * 21
= 294 m^2
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 294 m^2.
So, the correct answer is C. 294 m2.
