Question 1205413: A town map shows the location of its school (S), municipal hall (H), church (C), and market (M). When these places are combined they form the shape of an isosceles trapezoid with an area of 475 sq. meters. The school (S) is adjacent to the municipal hall (H) and diagonally across from the church (C) (Note: SH is one of the non-parallel sides). The school (S) is 16 meters away from the market (M) and the municipal hall (H) is 22 meters away from the church (C). Suppose your house (E) is opposite the school and located between the municipal hall and church, how far is it from the school? Provide Illustration, Working Equation, Solution, and Answer.

The description of the problem is not precise enough to find the answer. The problem only says that the house is between the municipal hall and the church; to answer the question we need to know EXACTLY WHERE the house is between the municipal hall and the church.
