Question

the backyard of a new home is shaped like a trapezoid with a height of 42 ft and bases of 88 ft and 111 ft. what is the cost of putting sod in the yard, if the landscaper charges $0.26 per square foot for sod​

Answer 1

I think it’s pretty interpretative, the reason I didn’t divide 483/2 like you would normally with a triangle, is because there are 2 triangles in a trapezoid. Also you can split the two triangles off the trapezoid because in a trapezoid the train for will awkward be right.
