Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ DBC + ∠ ABC = ∠ ABD , substitute values
5x - 4 + 8x - 3 = 79
13x + 1 = 79 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
13x = 78 ( divide both sides by 13 )
x = 6
Adding all of the areas together:
5 x 6 = 30
4 x 6 = 24
3 x 6 = 18
4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25(square root) = 5
" " = 5
30 + 24 + 18 + 5 + 5 = 82 ft^2
Fractions are just unsimplified numbers. For example 5/8 is just 5 divided by 8 so 0.625. To find the percent from that you move the decimal two places to the right making it 62.5%. Hope this helps!
