Sam’s yard is shaped like a trapezoid. The dimensions are shown in the picture. What is the area of sam’s yard?

(step by step please! ☆)

The area of Sam's yard is 28 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The trapezoid's area is calculated by averaging the base lengths and multiplying it with the trapezoid's height.

The trapezoid's area

Here a is the lower base length and b is the upper base length while h is the height.

Step 2:

In the given diagram, the upper base is 6 units, so . The lower base is 8 units long, so .  and the height is 4 units, so

The trapezoid's area

So the area of Sam's yard is 28 square units.

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.
