Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709
Discussion:
Call the first mile marker "m". Then
m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms
2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides
2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2
m = 417416/2 = 208708
Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.
Thank you,
MrB
So to find the answer of the area, you have to multiply 7 and 8 which would equal to 56.
We know the width of the rectangle in the middle of the trapezoid is 24 (from the top of the image), so we can subtract that from the bottom width of the trapezoid to get the combined length of the bottom of both triangles.

Since this is an isosceles trapezoid, both triangle bases are the same length, so we can cut this value in half to get the length of
and 

Finally, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of
:





The answer to this problem is 9/64.
