The uniform widths serve as "heights" of trapezoids.
One direction constrains the width of the flower beds to be ; and the other direction constrains the width to be .
Two flower beds each have bases 28 and 18, with height of 5;
and two flower beds each have bases 34 and 24 with height of 5.
CALCULATE EACH FLOWER BED AREA
for each of the shorter flower beds;
for each of the longer flower beds areas.
