The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where A is area, b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values,
A = 0.5(15 m + 19 m)(10 m)
A = 170 m²
The area of the garden is 170 m².
Do what the problum ids telling you than apply it to the math and you will always get the right answer
Assume your line starts at zero, your first point is (-3,5) meaning your have a slope of 5/-3
[ f(x) = 5/-3x + b]
