Answer 1

1435 square feet

Explanation:

Mae's rose garden is in the shape of a trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is given as:

`A = (1)/(2) (a + b) h`

where a and b are the bases of the trapezoid and h is its height

Mae's garden, in the shape of a trapezoid, has a height of 35 feet. The bases of the garden measure 50 feet and 32 feet.

Therefore:

`A = (1)/(2)(50 + 32) * 35\\ \\A = (1)/(2) * 82 * 35\\\\A = 1435 ft^2`

The area of Mae's rose garden is 1435 square feet.
