The courtyard behind Jennie’s house is shaped like a trapezoid the bases measures 8 meters and 11 meters the height of the trapezoid is 12 meters what is the area of the courtyard

Respuesta :

Answer:

 A =  114 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a trapezoid is

A = (1/2)(B + b)h   where B is the bottom base, b is the top base, and h is the height.  

We are given B = 11, b = 8, and h = 12, plug those values in and simplify

A = (1/2)(11 + 8)(12)

     A = (1/2)(19)(12)

          A = (19)(6)             (half of 12 is 6)

                A =  114 m²
