I see that you've uploaded an image with three mathematical problems. I'll interpret the image and help solve each one.

Problem 1:

"Trevor is using pulleys and arrows to apply a spring in the direction of the arrow. The coil of spring can be stretched to an area of 10 square feet. Does Trevor have enough spring space for this arrow?"

• Dimensions of the arrow: 2 ft (height) by 5 ft (width).

Solution:
The area of the arrow can be calculated as a simple rectangle since there are no other shapes involved. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

$\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}$

Here, the dimensions are 5 ft by 2 ft.

$\text{Area} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ square feet}$

Since the spring can stretch to 10 square feet, Trevor has enough space for the spring.

Problem 2:

"Determine the area of the shaded trapezoid."

• Dimensions:
  • Top base = 4 inches
  • Bottom base = 8 inches
  • Height = 3 inches

Solution:
The area of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{Base}_1 + \text{Base}_2) \times \text{Height}$

Substituting the values:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (4 + 8) \times 3 = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 3 = 18 \text{ square inches}$

So, the area of the shaded trapezoid is 18 square inches.

Problem 3:

"Eight triangles are drawn within a square to create the shaded region in the figure."

• The large square has a side length of 10 cm.
• Each of the four small triangles within the square is made by cutting out squares from the corners.

Solution:

1. First, calculate the area of the entire large square:

$\text{Area of large square} = \text{side}^2 = 10^2 = 100 \text{ square centimeters}$

2. The four corner squares are right triangles with legs measuring 3 cm. The area of one right triangle is:

$\text{Area of one triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 3 = 4.5 \text{ square centimeters}$

Since there are 4 triangles, the total area removed is:

$\text{Total area of triangles} = 4 \times 4.5 = 18 \text{ square centimeters}$

3. Subtracting the area of the triangles from the area of the large square gives the shaded area:

$\text{Shaded area} = 100 - 18 = 82 \text{ square centimeters}$

Do you want any further details or explanations on these problems?

Tip: When dealing with composite shapes, always break them down into simpler shapes like rectangles, triangles, and trapezoids to calculate the area more easily.
