I will mark brainlist :)

Answer 1

Answer:

easy it's a TRAPIZIUM. so area of trapizium...

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b/2 × h

= 64 +24 / 2 x 15

=88/2×15

=44×15

=660 ft.

Answer 2

The area of the tarp used to cover grass of a baseball field = 660 sq. ft

Given:
A tarp shaped like a trapezium

To find:
Area of the tarp

Step by step explanation:

→ Formula used: -
Area of a trapezium = 1/2 * (Sum of parallel sides) * Distance between the
                                                                                         parallel sides

We have been given that the tarp is in the shape of a trapezium,
Where, according to the given figure,
Length of parallel side 1 = 64ft
Length of parallel side 2 = 24ft
Distance between the parallel sides = 15ft.

As all the values are given in ft.
∴ There is no need for unit conversion.

Now, applying the formula,
Area of trapezium = 1/2 * (Sum of parallel sides) * Distance between the
                                                                                  parallel sides
                              ⇒ 1/2 * (64 + 24) * 15
                              ⇒ 1/2 * 88 * 15
                              ⇒ 44 * 15
                              ⇒ 44 * (10 + 5)
                              ⇒ 440 + 220
                              ⇒ 660 sq. ft     (Answer)

The area of the tarp used to cover grass of a baseball field = 660 sq. ft
