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 a trapezoid, you can use the formula A = 1/2 * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides, and h is the distance between the parallel sides.
In this case, b1 = 15 yd., b2 = 19 yd., and h = 12 yd.
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is:
A = 1/2 * (15 + 19) * 12
A = 1/2 * 34 * 12
A = 17 * 12
A = 204 square yards
So, the area of the trapezoid is 204 square yards.
