[strong hull]

so the area of the entire triangle is (S^2)/2 right

[misty thunder]

Yeee

[strong hull]

and do u know the formula for area of trapezoid?

use that to find area of the trapezoid in terms of S

then divide the two equations and u get the ratio

[misty thunder]

Im 14 and they gave us this hard question

I dont know

[strong hull]

np here

[misty thunder]

After i get the ratio

It will be 0. Something

Right?

[strong hull]

correct

[misty thunder]

Do i multiply by 100?

To get percentage?

[strong hull]

yes for the percentgae

[misty thunder]

Thxx

[strong hull]

so looking at the original traingle

we can see that we have the 2 bases and height of the trapezoid in terms of s

[misty thunder]

Yes

[strong hull]

what did u get for area of the trapezoid

oh wait S is given this is even easier than I thought

Area of the triangle is (s^2)/2, plug in 8 for s and u get 32 right

[misty thunder]

Yes

[strong hull]

looking at one of the trapeziods u have one base = 8, the other base = 8/2 and the height is 8/4

[misty thunder]

Ohhh thx i know how to solve it now

[strong hull]

should get ||37.5%||

type .close when ur done

[misty thunder]
