​(Type whole numbers or​ decimals.)

Answer 1

I don't have the diagram clearly — can you upload it or confirm which side is labeled 3.5 m?

If the 3.5 m shown is the table's width (the shorter, top base), then the longest side (the bottom base) being twice the width gives:
- bottom box = 7 m
- top box = 3.5 m

If 3.5 m is some other side (a leg or diagonal), please tell me which segment is which (which sides are parallel, and where the two 1 m labels are), and I'll finish the calculation.
