Answer:
The area of the trapezoid is 40 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the area of the given trapezoid
Mathematically, we apply the formula for the area
In this case, a will be 10, b will be 6 and h will be 5
Substituting these values, we have that ;
A = 1/2(10 + 6)5
A = 1/2(16)(5)
A = 40 square inches
D=51/77
First set up the equation equal to zero(0), the distribute from there.
Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.
