Step-by-step explanation:
It appears you can measure the height of the trapezoid [trapezium :-) ??]. If you can't, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem (image attached). Draw a line from the upper right-hand corner down to the baseline--the 20m side. You'll form a right triangle with one leg <em>h</em> , hypotenuse 17m and the other leg 8m (the difference between 20m and 12m).
(leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2
<em>h</em>^2 + 8^2 = 17^2
h^2 + 64 = 289
h^2 = 225
h = 15m
The area of the trapezium is where the <em>b</em>'s are the lengths of the two bases (upper and lower sides).
m^2
One can of weedkiller covers 100 m^2 of area. You'll need 3 cans (2 cans isn't enough, and you can't buy a fraction of a can). Tricky question!
Three cans will cost 3 x 19.75 pounds = £59.25
