shown in the diagram.
What is the area of the playground in square feet
A
3,120 ft?
B
1,560 ft?
C 1,768 ft2
D 3,536 ft?

Answer:

The right answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a trapezoid is

[tex]A= \frac{b1+b2(h)}{2}[/tex]

-b1 standing for base 1 and b2 for base 2

-and h standing for height

-the bases are the parallel lines in the trapezoid

from there you just plug in the numbers

[tex]A= \frac{68+36(30)}{2}[/tex]   make sure you use units (feet, inches, etc.)

from there you solve it

[tex]68+36=104\\\frac{104}{2} = 52\\\\52(30) = 1,560ft^{2}[/tex]

There is your answer!
