Question

A lot runs between two parallel streets. The length of the lot on one of the streets is 160-ft. The length of the lot on the other street is 100-ft. The area of the lot is 14,170 square feet. How far apart are the two streets?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:Area = 1/2(b1 + b2)x h

Area = 18,000 ft^2

b1 = 80 ft

b2 = 100 ft

18,000 = 1/2(80 + 100) x h

36,000 = (180)h

h = 36,000/180

h = 200ft.

This is the distance between streets.

Hope this helps :-)Area = 1/2(b1 + b2)x h
