# A trapezoid

A trapezoid 75 ft wide on top 85 ft on the bottom, the height is 120 ft. What is its area in the square yds?

Correct result:

S =  1066.667 yd2

#### Solution:

$c=75 \ \text{ft} \ \\ a=85 \ \text{ft} \ \\ h=120 \ \text{ft} \ \\ \ \\ S_{1}=\dfrac{ a+c }{ 2 } \cdot \ h=\dfrac{ 85+75 }{ 2 } \cdot \ 120=9600 \ \text{ft}^2 \ \\ S=S_{1} \rightarrow yd^2=S_{1} / 9 \ yd^2=9600 / 9 \ yd^2=1066.667 \ yd^2=1066.667 \ \text{yd}^2$
