Question

A lot for sale is shaped like a trapezoid. The bases of the trapezoid represent the widths of the front and back yards. The width of the back yard is twice the width of the front yard. The distance from the front yard to the back yard, or the height of the trapezoid, is equal to the width of the back yard. Find the width of the front and back yards, given that the area is 3,300 square feet. Round to the nearest foot

Answer 1

Answer:

Front: 33 ft

Back: 66 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width of the front yard

½[w + 2w]×2w = 3300

3w² = 3300

w² = 1100

w = 33.1662479036

w = 33 ft

2w = 66 ft
