The courtyard behind Jennie's house is shaped like a trapezoid the bases measure 8 meters and 17 meters the height of the trapezoid is 12 meters what is the area

150m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

a=8m

b=17m

h=12m

We know that the expression for the area of a trapezoid is given as

Area= (a+b/2)*h

substitute

Area= (8+17/2)*12

Area= 25/2 *12

Area= 12.5*12

Area= 150 m^2

Hence the area is 150m^2

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
