[Diagram of a trapezoid]
- The shorter base has a length given as \(2 \text{ yd}\).
- The height of the trapezoid \(h\) is marked with a dashed line.
- The longer base \(b\) is labeled at the bottom.
The given dimensions are:
- Shorter base (top) = \(4 \text{ yd}\)
- Left side segment = \(2 \text{ yd}\)
- Right side segment = \(2 \text{ yd}\)
**What are the lengths of the height and the longer base? Enter your answers in the boxes.**
- \(h = \_\_\_\_ \text{ yd}\)
- \(b = \_\_\_\_ \text{ yd}\)
### Part B
**Use the measurements from Part A to find the area of Darren's display board.**
- [ ] \(8 \text{ yd}^2\)
- [ ] \(12 \text{ yd}^2\)
- [ ] \(16 \text{ yd}^2\)
- [ ] \(24 \text{ yd}^2\)

This problem involves using the properties of trapezoids to determine the height and the bases, followed by calculating the area of a trapezoid. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, called bases. The height is the perpendicular distance between these bases. To find the area of the trapezoid, you use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{Base}_1 + \text{Base}_2) \times \text{Height} \]
In this problem, you will calculate the height and the longer base using the given relationships and then use these values to find the area of the trapezoid display board.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F060bd5cb-9d32-4a65-ba2b-20b49a908707%2Fe124c3dc-dbd1-45fa-8813-c92f2de3f6f6%2Fu4xu1ir_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
