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! :)
No, the longest side must be less than the sum of the smaller sides or else they won't connect (try it yourself with straw or something)
40+30>120
70>120
false, therfor they canonot be a triangle

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the length of the whole line and its two halves. Since JK and KL make up the line JL, adding them together would make the line JL.




Now we can plug the value of
back into the expression we were given for the line KL.
