From your information
Let shorter base = h +3 and longer base = h + 7 where h is the height.
Formula for area of a trapezoid is

Substituting into the formula we get the following equation.



This is a quadratic equation which I will solve by factoring.



this is a useable answer (it's positive and length must be nonnegative)

can't use this answer
so shorter base = 10 + 3 = 13 yards and longer base = 10 + 7 = 17 yards
X/2.1 < or equal to 4
Hope this helps!
Let x be the first jug, y the second jug.
From first statement, subtracting 1 from x, makes them equal:
x - 1 = y
From second statement, subtracting 2 from y, makes it half of x:
x/2 = y-2
Solve system with substitution:
x/2 = (x-1) -2
x/2 = x - 3
x- x/2 = 3
x/2 = 3
x = 6
y = x-1 = 6-1 = 5
Therefore the largest jug contains 6 liters.
