The correct answer is B = -1
10(1 + 3B) = -20
10 + 30B = -20
-20 - 10 = -30
30B = -30
B = -1
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
7.5 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...
A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases, and h is the perpendicular distance between them.
Here, the bases are TR = 1 and PA = 4. The height is 3 units, so the area is ...
A = (1/2)(1 +4)(3) = 15/2 = 7.5 . . . . square units
