Hello here is a solution :
<span>x² − 8x − 4 = 0.
</span><span>quadratic equation ax²+bx+c = 0 when : a=1 and b= -8 and c = -4
discriminant : d = b²-4ac d= (-8)²-4(1)(-4) =64+16 =70
x= (-b-rot(d))/2a </span>x'= (-b+rot(d))/2a .......conrinu
A of trapezium = ((a+b)/2)(h)
A = ((10+10+4)/2)(8)
A = (24/2)(8)
A = 12(8)
A = 94
The area is 94ft²
I think it would be -9.64
That’s the correct answer
