Spinning on Y out of three letters (G, I and Y) = 1/3
then either an easy or hard = 1/2
so
The probability that the spinner will stop on the letter Y and then easy
= 1/3 x 1/2
= 1/6
= 0.17
answer:
0.17

This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).
Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.
The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.
