SOLUTION: A lot runs between two parallel streets. The length of the lot on one of the streets is 80-ft. The length of the lot on the other street is 100-ft. The area of the lot is 18,000

Question 1037271: A lot runs between two parallel streets. The length of the lot on one of the streets is 80-ft. The length of the lot on the other street is 100-ft. The area of the lot is 18,000 square feet. How far apart are the two streets? (The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A=1/2(b1+b2)h

Hi there,
Area = 1/2(b1 + b2)x h
Area = 18,000 ft^2
b1 = 80 ft
b2 = 100 ft
18,000 = 1/2(80 + 100) x h
36,000 = (180)h
h = 36,000/180
h = 200ft.
This is the distance between streets.
Hope this helps :-)
