The garden

The garden is an isosceles trapezoid with bases 64 m and 24 m long and a height of 25 m. If a fifth of the area is occupied by a cottage, lawn, and path, in what garden area is it possible to grow vegetables?

Correct answer:

x =  880 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=64\text{m} \\ c=24\text{m} \\ h=25\text{m} \\ S=\frac{a+c}{2}\cdot h=\frac{64+24}{2}\cdot 25=1100{\text{m}}^2 \\ x=S-S/5=1100-1100/5=880{\text{m}}^2 \end{gathered}$$
