Answer:

  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of lengths is ...

  shortest : longest = (2/3) : 1 = 2 : 3

Then the ratio of the shortest to the total is ...

  shortest : (shortest +longest) = 2 : (2 +3) = 2/5

The shortest piece length is ...

  (2/5)×(35 ft) = 14 ft

The shorter piece of the board is 14 ft long.

Answer:

triangle on the left: 6 sq ft. triangle on the right: 28 sq ft. rectangle: 128. altogether, 162 sq ft. the trapezoid is about 61.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

for the rectangle the formula is bxh (base x height). for a triangle, it is bxh/2, or base times height divided by 2. for a trapezoid, it is b1+b2 x h / 2, or base 1 (bottom) plus base 2 (top) times height, take all of that and divide by 2.
