BONUS 1) You take the Math Time Machine into the past to save Julius Caesar and fix the calendar,
but you miss your timestamp and end up in Alexandria a few years early. You wander around before
ending up in front of the Great Library of Alexandria, which is guarded by a sphinx - known in
mythology for their tricky riddles. When you ask the sphinx what year it is, it refuses to answer
unless you solve a math problem. The sphinx shows you a right triangle with a base of 8 and a height
of 6, which you know has an area of 24. Then it tells you that if you that you can remove some
length x off of the 8 side, but if you do that you must add a rectangle under the 8 side with a height
equal to x, thus creating a trapezoid. How much length must you remove from the 8 side so the
trapezoid has the same area as the original triangle? X = 0 doesn't count.
a) X = 2
b) X = 3
c) X = 4
d) X = 5
