1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
Find the area of trapezoid.
1/2(6+10)(3) = 24
Now multiply 24 by $4 to find the total cost.
24 * 4 = 96
So the total cost is $96
Hope this helps :)

The aircraft is 29238 ft from the ship

Note: this is based on my assumption that we are looking for the hypotenuse.
If we are looking for the adjacent side, then the answer would be 27475 ft.
