Answer:
22.23 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a trapezium and area can be calculated using the formula
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h(a + b)
where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases
here h = 5.7, a = 5.9 and b = 1.9
A= 0.5 × 5.7(5.9 + 1.9) = 0.5 × 5.7 × 7.8 = 22.23 yd²
Answer:
22.3 is the answer
[tex]\frac{a+b}{2}*h[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.9+5.9}{2} *5.7 = \frac{7.8}{2} * 5.7 = 3.9 * 5.7 = 22.23[/tex]
