Use Square of Sum: (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
b^2 + 2b * 12 + 12^2
Simplify 12^2 to 144
b^2 + 2b * 12 + 144
Simplify 2b * 12 to 24b
b^2 + 24b + 144

Answer:
7. ∠CBD = 100°
8. ∠CBD = ∠BCE = 100°; ∠CED = ∠BDE = 80°
Step-by-step explanation:
7. We presume the angles at A are congruent, so that each is 180°/9 = 20°.
Then the congruent base angles of isosceles triangle ABC will be ...
∠B = ∠C = (180° -20°)/2 = 80°
The angle of interest, ∠CBD is the supplement of ∠ABC, so is ...
∠CBD = 180° -80°
∠CBD = 100°
__
8. In the isosceles trapezoid, base angles are congruent, and angles on the same end are supplementary:
∠CBD = ∠BCE = 100°
∠CED = ∠BDE = 80°
X = 8
because 8 x 2 = 16
16 - 9 = 5
5 x 3 = 15
