In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger.
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle).
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles
Answer:
The area is 522.935 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
A trapezoid's area is calculated as follows: h(b1+b2)/2
Plugging numbers in gives 34.3+12.6=46.9
so now all that's left is to multiply 22.3 and 46.9, and divide by 2.
This gives 522.935
