<h3>
Answer: 45</h3>
The value is approximate.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Focus on the upper triangle.
Label the unknown horizontal side as y
Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for y
a^2+b^2 = c^2
10^2 + y^2 = 26^2
100+y^2 = 676
y^2 = 676-100
y^2 = 576
y = sqrt(576)
y = 24
-----------
Now move to the bottom triangle
With respect to the reference angle, the side y = 24 is opposite this. The hypotenuse is unknown.
Use the sine rule to connect the two and solve for x
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(32) = y/x
sin(32) = 24/x
x*sin(32) = 24
x = 24/sin(32)
x = 45.2899179551967 which is approximate
x = 45 rounding to the nearest whole number
Side x is approximately 45 cm long.
Note: make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
To find the area of the shaded region you need find the area
of the shaded region and subtract the area of the unshaded region.
Area of a rectangle = width x length
A = (x + 10) x (2x + 5)
Next apply FOIL or
First Outer Inner Last
A = (x * 2x) (x * 5) (10 * 2x) (10 * 5)
A= 2x2 + 5x + 20x + 50
A= 2x2 +25x +50
Area of a square= sides2
A= (x + 1)2
A= (x+1) (x+1)
Next apply FOIL or
First Outer Inner Last
A = (x *x) (1*x) (1*x) (1*1)
A = x2 + 1x + 1x +1
A= x2 + 2x +1
A= 2x2 +25x +50 - 2x2 +25x +50
A= 50x + 100
