Question 1153509: Refer to the illustration. It took 72 square feet of Tyvek house wrap to cover a trapezoid-shaped part of a house. Find the height of the trapezoid if the length of its shorter base is the same as its height. (The formula for the area of a trapezoid is
A = 1/2 h (b1 + b2)
, where h is its height, and b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases.)
(The longest base is 18 ft) Answer by ikleyn(52787) (Show Source):
