Question 1018200
The uniform widths serve as "heights" of trapezoids.


One direction constrains the width of the flower beds to be  {{{(28-18)/2=5}}}; and the other direction constrains the width to be {{{(34-24)/2=5}}}.


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
{{{((28+18)/2)*5}}} for each of the shorter flower beds;
{{{((34+24)/2)5}}} for each of the longer flower beds areas.
