We can split the given figure in 2 right triangles:

So, in order to get the area of each triangle, we need to find the base, denoted by x in both of them. Since both are right triangles, we can to apply Pythagoresn theorem. By applying this theorem to right hand side triangle, we have

x^2+8^2=17^2

so we have

\begin{gathered} x^2+64=289 \\ then \\ x^2=289-64 \\ x^2=225 \end{gathered}

Then, x is given by

x=\sqrt{225}=15

Then, the area of the left triangle is given by

A_1=\frac{base\times height}{2}=\frac{15\times36}{2}=270in^2

Similarly, the area of the second triangle is given by

A_2=\frac{base\times height}{2}=\frac{15\times8}{2}=60in^2

Then, the area of the entire figure is the sum of the area of the 2 triangles, that is,

A=A_1+A_2=270+60=330in^2

Therefore, the answer is: 330 square inches

Click on all the values for n that make this inequality true. There may be more than one answer.
vodka [1.7K]
Equation: 120 ≥ 10n + 20

Subtract 20 from both sides, 

100 ≥ 10n

Divide both sides by 10, 
10 ≥ n

It means, it is equal or Smaller than 10.

So, the answers would be: 7, 8, 9, 10

Hope this helps!
