This is the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid
Answer:
10 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the triangle area is the following:
A = b * h / 2
Where b is the length of the base side and h is the height.
So, as the height is 4 less than the base, we have that:
h = b - 4
Using this value in the area equation, we have that:
A = b * (b - 4) / 2
30 = (b^2 - 4b) / 2
b^2 - 4b = 60
b^2 - 4b - 60 = 0
Using Bhaskara's formula to solve the quadratic equation, we have:
Delta = 4^2 + 4*60 = 256
sqrt(Delta) = 16
b1 = (4 + 16)/2 = 10
b2 = (4 - 16)/2 = -6 (negative value does not fit for this problem)
So the length of the base is 10 inches.
Your answer is 167.76 you had to add 209.54 to 57.72 then subtract 72.00 and 27.50 from that answer
