The question states that both parts of Noshi's desk were shaped like trapezoids and both had a height of 3.
We know that the formula for area of a trapezoid is (a+b)/2 * h, where a and b are bases of the trapezoid and h is the height. Note: This is like any other form of trying to find the area, because we are doing base times height, however, we need to divide the sum of the bases by 2 to find the average base length.
Let's call the first trapezoid on the left Trapezoid A and the second slanted trapezoid Trapezoid B.
Area of Trapezoid A = (a+b)/2 * h = (5+8)/2 * 3 = 13/2 * 3 = 6.5 * 3 = 19.5 feet
Area of Trapezoid B = (a+b)/2 * h = (4+9)/2 * 3 = 13/2 * 3 = 6.5 * 3 = 19.5 feet
To find the area of Noshi's total desk, we simply need to add the areas of Trapezoid A and Trapezoid B together.
19.5 feet + 19.5 feet = 39 feet
Therefore, the area of Noshi's desk is 39 feet.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular polygon is a shape with equal sides and angles. Because of this, we can write the following equation to set two sides equal to each other:
Solving, we will get a in terms of b:
Now we can substitute a for (b+3) into our equation:
Therefore, the length of each side of this polygon is 
.
Since the perimeter of the polygon consists of all five sides, the perimeter is:

Answer:
The 3 possible values of x are;
6, 4 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangle is isosceles, then two of the sides must be equal
So we equate the sides, 2 at a time to get the different values of x
3x + 4 = 2x + 10
3x-2x = 10-4
x = 6
3x + 4 = x + 12
3x-x = 12-4
2x = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
2x + 10 = x + 12
2x - x = 12-10
x = 2
