Area = 10.08 yd²
Solution:
The given shape is a trapezoid.
Length of top base ([tex]b_1[/tex]) = 5.4 yd
Length of bottom base ([tex]b_2[/tex]) = 1.8 yd
Height of trapezoid (h) = 2.8 yd
To find the area of the trapezoid:
Area of the trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times (b_1+b_2)\times h[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times (5.4+1.8)\times 2.8[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times 7.2\times 2.8[/tex]
= 10.08 yd²
Area = 10.08 yd²
