Answer:
dissect the trapezium into a square and triangle. since the triangle is a right angled one the base is 17-7=10cm
the height is found using Pythagorean theorem to be 24cm i.e 26²=x²+10²,x=√(676-100),x=√576,x=24cn
area of trapezium is (1/2)(a+b)h
a is the shorter side and b the longer side
(1/2)*(7+17)24
=288cm²
If what you mean is what does x equal then X=30
Answer:
Water needed for pool = 486 cubic feet
Plastic liner required for the pool = 298.3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Top view of the pool is a composite figure, having one rectangle and a trapezoid.
1). Water needed for the pool = volume of the pool
Volume of the pool = Area of the base × Depth
= (Area of the rectangle + Area of the trapezoid)× depth
Area of the trapezoid = 
= 
= 105 ft²
Area of the rectangle = Length × width
= 11 × 1.5
= 16.5 ft²
Now, volume of the pool = (105 + 16.5) × 4
= 121.5 × 4
= 486 cubic feet
b). Liner required = surface area of the pool excluding top
= Surface area of the walls + Area of the pool base
= (Perimeter of the pool) × depth + area of the base
= (12 + 11 + 1.5 + 10.7 + 9)×4 + 121.5
= 176.8 + 121.5
= 298.3 square feet
Therefore, amount of water required = 486 cubic feet
liner needed = 298.3 square feet
