A) The area of the rectangle ABCD is base times height. 20in x 12in = 240 in sq.
B) The area of the triangle AED is base times height divided by two. (14in x 12in)/2 = 84in sq.
C) Figure EBCD is a right trapezoid (having one pair of parallel sides, while the others are slanted and forming a right angle).
D) Area of EBCD is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the triangle. 240in sq - 84in sq = 156in sq.
we know that
step 1
multiply
by 
so

step 2
Divide numerator and denominator by 

therefore
the answer is

Let William be x years old.
Thomas = (4 + x) years
In five years,
William = (x + 5) years
Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years
Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.
x + 5 + 9 + x = 24
2x + 14 = 24
2x = 24 - 14
2x = 10
x =

x = 5
Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.
Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the number
(x + 2)*10 = 8x + 36
10x + 20 = 8x + 36
2x = 16
x = 8
