Problem #20
A flower garden is in the shape of a trapezoid with bases of 6 yards and 10 yards. The distance between the bases is 4 yards. Find the area of the garden. This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A=1/2(height)(Base#1 + Base #2)[ Formula for the area of a trapezoid]
A=(1/2)(4)(6+10) [Plug-in the values]
A=(2)(16)
A=32
