Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the shape is the sum of three sections
<u>1. Rectangle</u>
<u>2. Bigger semicircle</u>
- A = 1/2π(14/2)² = 76.96 ≈ 77 in² (rounded)
<u>3. Smaller semicircle</u>
- A = 1/2π(5/2)² = 9.8174 ≈ 10 in² (rounded)
<u>Total area:</u>
5x=2x+24
5x-2x=24
3x=24
x=24/3
x=8
Now you can verify by putting 8 in the x :)
Answer is c
use pythagorean
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2+15^2= c^2
289=c^2
sqrt both sides
c=17
BC=17
