Area of Triangles · Medium problem
A symmetric trapezoid-shaped roof has a bottom edge of m, a top edge of m, and a height of m. It can be split into a middle rectangle (as wide as the top edge) and two triangles at the ends (with equal bases of m and m, since the bottom overhangs the top unevenly). What is the roof's total area, in square meters?
