Samantha plans to use a small space on the lawn to plant flowers in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, with a height of 5 feet and bases of 7 feet and 6 feet.
What is the area of the trapezoid that Samantha plans to make for planting flowers?
Area trapezoid = [height/2] * [ sum of the bases] .....so we have.....
[5/2] * [7 + 6] =
(5/2]*[ 13] =
65/2 sq ft = 32.5 sq ft
