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! :)
An equivalent ratio would be 7:10 or 70:100 or 42:60 and so on...

Answer:
x = -3, y =3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4/3x - 1
y = 1/3x + 4 -------> 4y = 4/3x + 16
Adding the first equation and the new second equation together:
5y = 15 ------> y = 3
Plug y = 3 into one of the original equations:
3 = 1/3x + 4
-1 = 1/3x
x = -3
