In this one, we have a trapezoid. The length of the first base is 8 yd. The length of the second base is 8+7, or 15 yd. The height of the trapezoid is 8 yd.
We can use the area of a trapezoid formula.
[tex] \frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h[/tex]
Where [tex]b_1[/tex] is the length of the first base
and where [tex]b_2[/tex] is the length of the second base
and where [tex]h[/tex] is the height.
Just plug in the values.
[tex] \frac{1}{2}(8+15)8=92[/tex]
The trapezoid has an area of 92 yd². Hope this helps! :)
