Since the figure is a trapezoid, we must use the trapezoid area formula, [tex]A = (b_1 + b_2) / 2 * h[/tex]. By doing so, we can plug in the shown numbers on the image. After that, we multiply.
[tex]A = (8 + 14) / 2 * 5[/tex]
[tex]A = 22/2 * 5[/tex]
[tex]A = 11 *5[/tex]
[tex]A = 55^2[/tex]
The area of the trapezoid is 55 squared yards.
