Question

Tonys backyard is in the shape of a trapezoid the bases of the backyard or 30 feet and 50 feet long area of the backyard is 960 ft.² sold in equation to find the height of Christophers backyard A=12(b1+b2)h

Answer 1

24 feets

Explanation:

Area of a trapezium :

A=1/2(b1+b2)h

b1 = 30 ; b2 = 50 ; Area, A = 960ft²

Inputting values into the formula :

960 = 1/2(30 + 50) * h

960 = 1/2(80)h

960 * 2 = 80h

1920 = 80h

Divide both sides by 80

1920 / 80 = 80h / 80

24 = h

Height of backyard = 24 feets
