what image is this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not an image

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it then? trapezoid ? fed up square? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trapezoid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Atrap = { (b1 - b2) \times height \over 2}\] does that help ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, it should be (b1+b2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know what b1 is though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you know everything else, right? So if you put in the formula what you have: \[180 = {(b1 + 26) \over 2} \times 9\]

OpenStudy (mathmagician):

the answer should be 14. b2=(2A/h)-b1
