Geometry (drawing)

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

A) 3600 sq ft. B) 4600 sq ft C) 6400 sq ft D) 8900 sqf ft

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you see it right inside this frame sou see a rectangle for what you can calculi area sure easy and than you see the greater frame so this is a trapezoid with base (0,120) and (0,0) yes ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

ok, but how do you get the measurements of the bases and the height?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so the length of the base will be 120 - do you see it why ,

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

which base, remember the bases are the thīngs art the left and right, the short ones

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the length of the top vertical line will be from the 20 till 100 so will be 80 units

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the base of trapezoid will be this line with coordinates (0,0) till (0,120) but see this trapezoid inclined 90 degree on right part - do you see it now ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

yes,ok

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so for you get the necessary area you need subtract area of the rectangle what is inside greater frame from area of trapezoid - right ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what is inside trapezoid what i have wrote greater frame - sorry

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

yes, but i wanted to get the are of the trapezoid first

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know formula for area of a trapezoid ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

A=1/2 h (b1+b2)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok b1 being the greater base so b1 = 120 yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

b2 = ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

yes

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

b2=80

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

and what is the height?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this i wan explain to you how you can see it i will try to explain it look please the base has x value equal zero - yes ? the left side ,down corner of the rectangle what is inside trapezoid has x value 10 so what will be the distance between the base of trapezoid and the left side of rectangle ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

10

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you see the left side of rectangle has x value 10 and the line from the top has x value 140 so what will be the difference between ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

130?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

eaxctly

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so the height how many will be ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

130

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why just 130 ? and with this 10 what will be ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

140

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes sure 140 - ok. ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

yes, so now i get the trapezoid area

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how many will be ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. and now you like to calculi area of rectangle - yes ,

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

14000

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how you have got it ?

OpenStudy (cbarredo1):

I got it, it's 3600 sq ft

OpenStudy (triciaal):

yes 3600 here is another approach

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok so than you need getting area of the plot of land
