3 (inches) / 6 (hrs) = 1/2 (or 0.5) inches per hr <==
let's notice the tickmarks on the left and right sides, meaning those two sides are twins, and therefore equal, so the perimeter is simply 2.5+2.5+3.5+2.5 = 11 ft.
the trapezoid has an altitude/height of 2 ft, thus

<span>A new kind of temporary pavilion support for a square roof uses just two poles set at the diagonal corners of a square. The allowable distance between the poles is 18 feet. Find the area of the roof. The sides will have lengths of 18/sqrt(2). Since they are perpendicular, the area of the square will be (18^2)/2 = 81*4/2 = 162 square feet.
