Explanation: To find the area of a trapezoid, multiply the sum of the bases (the parallel sides) by the height (the perpendicular distance between the bases), and then divide by 2.
# of ways to succeed: 10*10*10*3*25*25--# of possible plates: 10*10*10*26*26*26----P(exactly one W) = [10^3*3*25^2]/[10^3*26^3] = 3*25^2/26^2 = 1875/17576
