Question 1080851: Find the area which is the difference between the area of a smaller isosceles trapezoid within the area of a larger isosceles trapezoid with only the larger isosceles trapezoid sides are given and only having one side parallel to the smaller isosceles triangle.
Given Larger Isosceles triangle.
Long Base = 18 feet
Short Base = 12 feet
Height = 8 feet
I don't know how to show the figure but I hope my details would suffice
thank you.

1.  Read your post attentively,  word by word.

2.  Now tell me,  what is that  TRIANGLE  that appears  (from  nowhere)  at the end of the question ?

3.  It is not the way to formulate Math problem.

4.  Your first sentence is tooooo long for English.

      In standard English,  such long sentence MUST be divided/separated in shorter sentences.


5.  So,  if you want to get a solution/a discussion, then rewrite accordingly/accurately/consistently/ and re-submit.
