Question

The backyard of a new home is shaped like a trapezoid with a height of 44 ft and bases of 90 ft and 110 ft. What is the cost of putting sod on the yard, if the

landscaper charges $0.25 per square foot for sod?

Answer 1

$1100

Explanation:

((90 + 110)/2 * 44)) * .25 = 1100

Answer 2

$1100

Explanation:

First find the area of the trapezoid

A = 1/2 (b1+b2)*h

A = 1/2 ( 90+110) *44

A = 1/2(200)*44

A = 4400ft^2

The cost is .25 per square foot

4400* .25 =1100
