The after-school program at Longwood Middle School is planting a trapezoidal community garden.

75 ft on the left side, 102 On The Bottom, 85 ft On The Right Side

What is the area of the garden?

A. 6,375 ft2

B. 7,650 ft2

C. 8,160 ft2

D. 8,670 ft2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that the school is trying to plant a garden which is trapezoidal in shape and we want to calculate the area of this said garden.

Mathematically, the area of the garden can be calculated using the formula;

A = 1/2 (a + b) h

here in this question, a is the value on the right hand side which is 75 ft, b is the value on the left hand side which is 85ft while h is the value on the bottom

which is 102 ft

Inserting these values into the equation, we have:

A = 1/2 (75 + 85) * 102

A = 1/2 * 160 * 102

A = 8,160 ft^2
