# Cross section

The cross-section ABCD of a swimming pool is a trapezium. Its width AB=14 meters, depth at the shallow end is 1.5 meters, and at the deep end is 8 meters. Find the area of the cross-section.

Result

A =  66.5 m2

#### Solution:

$a=14 \ \text{m} \ \\ h_{1}=1.5 \ \text{m} \ \\ h_{2}=8 \ \text{m} \ \\ h=(h_{1}+h_{2})/2=(1.5+8)/2=\dfrac{ 19 }{ 4 }=4.75 \ \text{m} \ \\ A=a \cdot \ h=14 \cdot \ 4.75=\dfrac{ 133 }{ 2 }=66.5 \ \text{m}^2$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
