If x = 5 units, y = 6 units, and h = 6 units, find the area of the trapezoid shown above using decomposition. A. 102 square units B. 30 square units C. 66 square units D. 48 square units

C. 66 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the middle rectangle would by base × height, or y × h, or 6 × 6.

The area is 36.

The area for one triangle would 1/2 × base × height.

(But since there are two triangles to solve for, the 1/2 is not necessary, and we can just do base × height again.)

So, it would be x × h, or 5 × 6.

The area is 30.

Combine both areas to get the whole area of 66 units²

your answer would be b
