Area = 33.66 mi²
Solution:
The given shape is a trapezoid.
Length of top base ([tex]b_1[/tex]) = 7.9 mi
Length of bottom base ([tex]b_2[/tex]) = 2.3 mi
Height of trapezoid (h) = 6.6 mi
To find the area of the trapezoid:
Area of the trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times (b_1+b_2)\times h[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times (7.9+2.3)\times 6.6[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times 10.2\times 6.6[/tex]
= 33.66 mi²
Area = 33.66 mi²
