The area of each of Art's cookies is given by the formula for the area of a trapezoid: A = 1/2h(b1 + b2). The total area of dough used by Art to make a batch of cookies is 240 square inches, and this is equivalent to the number of cookies multiplied by the area of each cookie. Let n represent the number of cookies in a batch. The equation is thus expressed as: 240 = n * (1/2 * 4 * (4 + 6)). Solve for n.
