Question

The area of the given diagram is

• A. $14$ sq. yards
• B. $49$ sq. yards
• C. $25$ sq. yards
• D. $21$ sq. yards

Answer 1

The correct option is B $49$ sq. yards

Given, $UT=6$ yd, $RS=8$ yd, height $=7$ yards

Area of trapezoid $=$ $\frac{1}{2}\times (l_1+l_2)\times \text{height}$

$=$ $\frac{1}{2}\times (6+8)\times 7$
$=$ $\frac{1}{2}\times 14\times 7$
$=49$ sq. yards
