Please help me and get it correct!

The area of the trapezoid is 15 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can solve for the area of a trapezoid.

The first way is to memorize the formula for a trapezoid:

where b1 and b2 are the bases of the trapezoid;

          h is the height of the trapezoid.

Simply substitute the values you have from the problem. b1 is 2 miles, b2 is 3 miles, and h is 6 miles.

(Note that b1 and b2 are interchangeable, so do not worry about which value for a base of the trapezoid should be b1 or b2.)

A = (1/2)*(2mi + 3mi)*(6mi)

Simplify.

A = (3mi)(5mi) = 15 sqare miles

The second way is to split the area of the trapezoid into smaller areas. We know that this trapezoid is made up of two triangles and a rectangle. So let it be that! The area of the trapezoid is the area of the two triangles plus the area of the rectangle.

A = 2*(1/2)(b)(h) + (b)(h)

The base of the triangle is 1/2 mile and the height of the triangle is 6 miles. The base of the rectangle is 2 miles and the height of the rectangles is 6 miles.

A = 2*(1/2)*(1/2mi)*(6mi) + (2mi)(6mi)

Simplify.

A = 3 square miles + 12 square miles = 15 square miles.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
