@jdoe0001 thanks lol, but can you help with my question.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, you have there, 2 trapezoids, so http://www.cs.grinnell.edu/~walker/courses/161.fa12/data-representation/area3.gif get the area of each, and add them up :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt think those were trapezoids so yeah now it makes sense thanks

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

b1 and b2 there, refers to the PARALLEL SIDES of the trapezoid sometimes they maybe the one above or the one below, this time is the one on the left and the one on the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the lengths of 5 and 28 and 28 and 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then divide by 2? and multiply by the height?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm, yes

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

"h" is not the height, in the formula, a bit misleading btw, is the "base"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats h then

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

look at the picture in the formula

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, for your case, it'd be 16 and 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats still the height its just flipped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it now thanks for your help

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
