B=2h-7
Area of a triangle: A=1/2 of bh
replace b with 2h-7: A=(1/2)(2h-7)h=102 => (2h-7)h=204
2h^2-7h-204=0
factor or use quadratic function to solve
h=12
b=2*-7=17

In a trapezoid the lengths of bases are 11 and 18. The lengths of legs are 3 and 7. The extensions of the legs meet at some poin
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:  7\frac{5}{7} unit and 18 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD is a trapezoid where AB and CD are the bases. ( In which AB is greatest base which shown in below figure)

AD and BC are the legs of the trapezoid ABCD.

Now, we have ( According to the question ),

AB = 18 unit, BC = 7 unit, AD = 3 unit and DC = 11 unit.

Here the leg AD extends from point D.

Similarly leg BC extends from point C.

Let they meet at point P ( shown in below diagram)

Since In triangles PAB and PDC,

∠PDC ≅ ∠PAB ( because DC ║ AB )

And, ∠ PAB ≅ ∠ PBA

∠DPC ≅ ∠ APB ( reflexive)

Therefore, By AAA similarity postulate,

\triangle PDC \sim \triangle PAB

Thus, By the definition of similarity,

\frac{PD}{PA} = \frac{DC}{AB}

\frac{PD}{PD+3} = \frac{11}{18} ( because PA = PD+DA)

⇒ 18 PD = 11 PD +33

⇒7PD = 33

⇒ PD = 33/7

Again by the definition of similarity,

\frac{PC}{PB} = \frac{DC}{AB}

\frac{PC}{PC+7} = \frac{11}{18} ( because PB = PC + CB)

⇒ 18 PC = 11 PD +77

⇒7PC = 77

⇒ PC = 11

Thus, PA =  PD+DA = 33/7 + 3 = 7\frac{5}{7}

And, PB = PC + CB = 11 + 7 = 18

Let
x-------> the width of the rectangular area
y------> the length of the rectangular area

we know that
y=x+15------> equation 1
perimeter of a rectangle=2*[x+y]
2x+2y <= 150-------> equation 2

substitute 1 in 2
2x+2*[x+15] <=150--------> 2x+2x+30 <=150----> 4x <=150-30
4x <= 120---------> x <= 30
the width of the rectangular area is at most 30 ft
y=x+15
for x=30
y=30+15------> y=45
 the length of the rectangular area is at most 45 ft

see the attached figure
the solution is<span> the shaded area</span>
