In this problem, you must use SohCahToa which basically means:
Sin - opposite over hypotenuse
Cosine - adjacent over hypotenuse
Tangent - Opposite over hypotenuse
So in this picture we have 4 -which is on the opposite side of x - and a 5 -which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. This means we must use sin.
Using a calculator you put in:
Your answer is 53.13 degrees
Greetings from Brasil...
Let's apply the given formula:
A = (1/2)·B·H
The base of this polygon (in this case, the triangle) is B
B = X² - 2X + 6
The height of this polygon is H and is H
H = X + 4
Applying these values (B and H) in the given formula.....
A = (1/2)·B·H
A = (1/2)·(X² - 2X + 6)·(X + 4)
A = (1/2)·(X³ + 2X² - 2X + 24)
A = (X³/2) + X² - X + 12
OR
A = (X³ + 2X² - 2X + 24)/2
