The area of the trapezoid is 20 in².
Solution:
Given data:
Length of the bottom base = 7 in
Length of the top base = 3 in
Height of the trapezoid = 4 in
Step 1: Area of the trapezoid formula,
Step 2: Substitute the given values in the formula.
Step 3: Add 7 and 3.
Step 4: Divide 10 by 2, we get
Step 5: Multiply 5 by 4, we get
A = 20 in²
The area given in the picture is wrong.
The area of the trapezoid is 20 in².
After 6 years, the hourly rate should be 34.69 (or something around that since you may want to round)

Define x :
-----------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x+1 and x+2.
-----------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
-----------------------------------------------
The sum of all 3 numbers is 78
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
-----------------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 - 3
3x = 75
x = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Smallest number = 25
