Question

A grassy field lot in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 1500 square meters_. The length of one base is 50 meters, and the length of the other base is 10 meters. What is the width of the parking lot?

Answer 1

The width is 50.

Explanation:

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

`h = 2 (1500)/(50 + 10)`

`h = 2 (1500)/(60)`

`h = 2(25)`

`h = 50`
