why are there so many people on this question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Most people complain because they don't get enough help. Are you complaining because you get too much?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i like it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you got lucky today friend be happy :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Area of a trapezoid \[\large A = \frac{(b_{1}+b_{2})}{2}\cdot h\]\[\large b_{1}=10 ft\]\[\large b_{2}=6 ft\]\[\large h= 2 ft\]\[\large A = \frac{(10+6)}{2}\cdot 2\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

why not 10 is one base

OpenStudy (jack1):

isn't that only up to the 2 ft line...?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

No.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

no. 10 is one base, 6 is the other
