Answer:

35 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an area of a trapezium or trapezoid is h(a+b)/2. H is the height, and a and b are the the two opposite sides. With substitution, we get 5(6+8)2 = 70/2 = 35

Answer:

35 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the remaining side:

You need to find the bottom side of the triangle: 8-6=2 yd

Let's calculate the area of the triangle:

[tex]\frac{5*2}{2} =5[/tex] yd²

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle:

6*5 = 30 yd²

Total area: 30+5 = 35 yd²
