Answer 4

ok, so what would be parallel sides over here from the figure ??

Answer 5

The bottom and top line? o_o

yup.. so that would be parallel sides.. and the distance between them will be perpendicular ht..

Answer 7

By 9 yrds? o_o

Answer 8

yup..

so A = 1/2 * 9 * (25 + 16)...

Answer 9

Okay, is the area 738? x_x

Answer 10

how abt 185.4 yd square ??

Answer 11

How'd you get that? I'm pretty sure I did it correctly. >_<
Please show me step by step solving it. )x

Answer 12

25 + 16 = 41
41 * 9 = 369

369/2 = 184.5...

Answer 13

Why'd you divide 369 by 2?

Answer 14

it says, 1/2 * ht * (sum of parrallel sides)

Answer 15

Yes. but 1/2 is .5? Is it not? Wouldn't that give you the answer 783?

Answer 16

Hello?

Answer 17
