The diagram shows a trough in the form of a prism whose cross section ABCD is a trapezium with AD parallel to BC and the measurements are in centimetres. AD = 40, BC = 21, AB = 18, the perpendicular height from BC to AD is 14 and the trough is 90 long. (a)(i) Calculate the area of the cross-section ABCD of the trough. (ii) Calculate the capacity of the trough when full. (b) The inside of the trough is to be painted. One litre of the paint covers an area of 1 496 cm^2.
