Question

SOMEONE ANSWER PLEASE The trapezoid below is made up of a square and a triangle The total area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

Solution:

Note that:

• Area of trapezoid = Area of triangle + Area of square = 575 m²
• Area of triangle = 32.5 m²
• Area of square = s²

Finding the area of the square:

• 32.5 + Area of square = 575 m²
• => Area of square = 575 - 32.5
• => Area of square = 542.5
• => s² = 542.5
• => s = √542.5 ≈ 23.29

The length of the square is 23.29 meters.

Answer 2

Area of triangle = 32.5 m²

Area of square = s²

• Area of trapezoid = Area of triangle + Area of square = 575 m²

Area of the square:

$32.5 +$ Area of square = $575 m²$

Area of square = $575 -32.5$

Area of square = $542.5$

$s² = 542.5$

$s= \sqrt{542.5} = 23.29$

The length of the square is $23.29$ meters.
