The answer is: 29 rows of seats.
The explanation is shown below:
1. Let's call
the number of seats in a row.
2. You have that the number of rows is 4 less than the number of seats in each row (
).
3. The total seats, which is 957, is obtained by multiplying the number of seats in a row by the numbers of rows. Therefore, you can write the following expression:

4. Solve for
. You can use the Quadratic formula, which is:

Where:

5. Substitute values:

6. You must choose the positive value. Therefore, the number of rows of seats is:

Answer:
Area of Triangle is calculated by:
AT = baseT x heightT x (1/2)
Area of Rectangle is calculated by:
AR = baseR x heightR
Given AT = AR, baseT = baseR
=> heightT x (1/2) = heightR
=> heightT = 2 x heightR
or
height of triangle is two times larger than height of rectangle
Hope this helps!

132 〖in〗^2
<u>Explanation </u>
Although the diagram was not given, I was able to get it in the internet.
The area of a trapezium is found by the use of the following formula:
Area =1/2 h(a+b)
Where h is perpendicular distance between the two parallel lines, while a and b is are the lengths of the parallel lines.
In this question;
h=12 in
a=8 in
b=3+8+3=14 in
Area =1/2×12(8+14)
=6×22
132 〖in〗^2
