X - Linda's speed
(x+8 )- Colleen's speed
8x - Linda's distance for 8 h
8(x+8) = 8x+64 - Colleen's distance for 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176 - distance between Colleen and Linda after 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176
16x +64 = 176
16x = 176 - 64
16x = 112
x= 7 mph Linda's speed
x+8 = 7+8 = 15 mph Colleen's speed

Answer: 297 square cm</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
Break up the figure as shown in the diagram below.
A rectangle and trapezoid form
-------------
Area of rectangle = base*height = 9*15 = 135 cm^2
Area of trapezoid = (1/2)*(b1+b2)*h = (1/2)*(18+9)*12 = 162 cm^2
total area = (area of rectangle)+(area of trapezoid)
total area = (135) + (162)
total area = 297 square cm
Answer:
It is possible, because the two shortest sides have to add up to be more than the longest side, and 8 + 12 = 20, which is more than the longest side of 17.
So yes, I agree with Bear.
