Answer: 378 square feet

=========================================================

Explanation:

The goal is to find the area of the overall trapezoid (trapezoid MNRS)

To do this, we need three things:
A) The bottom horizontal length NR
B) The top horizontal length MS
C) The height of the trapezoid; the vertical distance from the bottom horizontal piece to the vertical horizontal piece

We don't know (A) but we know (B). The length of MS is 18 ft
We don't know (C), but we can find it fairly easily

Area of triangle TPQ = 84
84 = (base)*(height)/2
84 = 12*h/2
84*2 = 12*h
168 = 12*h
12h = 168
h = 168/12
h = 14

The height of triangle TPQ is 14 feet
The height of trapezoid MNRS is 14 feet

The hardest part will be figuring out the length of NR

We're told that NP, PQ and QR are in a ratio of 2:1.5:1
this means 
NP = 2*k
PQ = 1.5*k
QR = 1*k
where k is some positive number

From the diagram we see that PQ is 12 ft, so
PQ = 1.5k
1.5k = 12
k = 12/1.5
k = 8
leading to...
NP = 2*k = 2*8 = 16
PQ = 1.5*k = 1.5*8 = 12
QR = 1*k = 1*8 = 8

So,
NR = NP+PQ+QR
NR = 16+12+8
NR = 36

We finally have enough to find the area of the trapezoid
area of trapezoid = (height)*(base1+base2)/2
area of trapezoid = (14)*(18+36)/2
area of trapezoid = (14)*(54)/2
area of trapezoid = 756/2
area of trapezoid = 378 square feet

A vertical pole 5 feet long casts a shadow of 2 feet.if at the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow of 10 feet, how tall is th
ohaa [14]
We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as

h1/s1 = h2/s2

where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree

Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.
