In this problem, you are asked to solve the area of a
trapezoid. The formula in finding the area of a trapezoid is:
A = [(a + b)/2] x h
Where a = base 1
b = base
2
h =
height
Substituting the given measurements to the formula:
A = [(6.9 km + 2.7 km)/2] x 2.2 km
A = (9.6 km/2) x 2.2 km
A = 4.8 km x 2.2 km
A = 10.56 km^2
Therefore, the area is 10.56 square kilometers.
