I don't play golf anymore. Well, maybe I do sort of. I quit keeping score, started drinkning beer and I started playing better.

Well, I'm just as ignorant as I was a few minutes ago. Here are the dimensions for those of you who are more learned than I; paralell sides are 30' and 21' the angled sides are both 33'. and where in the hell is the speell chacker? I never could speell parallell.  |

If a guy knows how to figure a triangle, couldn't you cordon that off, and compute it, then just add that to the remaining "square"?
If not, shutting up and going away.

h is height*. Add the lengths of the two parallel sides, divide that by two and multiply by the height. Or go here: http://www.csgnetwork.com/areatrapezoid.html*(The distance between the two parallel sides, not the length of the of the two non-parallel sides) |

H is a voiceless pharyngeal fricative. Thus changing the formula to (b1+b2)/2*h.

I got 637.5 for the area which I presume = sq footage I guess I really should have paid attention in high school, instead of 'partakingoftheherb', drinking, and trying to copulate with high school girls. I recently went to a multi-decadal reunion, and I didn't remember any of what people talked about. I was 'toasty' most of the time then. |
