Question

I am confused on how to set this question up. Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing triangle EGD and triangle ELA

AL/DG = EL/EG

AL = x, DG = 3, EL = 5+5+5+5= 20

EG = 5

x/3 = 20/5

x/3 = 4

x = 3×4

x = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

so they want you to solve for each trapezoid (base1 + base 2)/2 × height. and solve for the one triangle, 1/2 × base × height. add them all together..... or add all the bottom lengths (the 5's) together and multiply by you height (12) times 1/2 (the triangle formula).
