Answer:
x=73
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = your number.
6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.
0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor
0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero
(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.
x = -3. This is the negative solution.
(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
x = 9. This is the positive solution.
It is C a pyramid! They ask for shape but no measurements
The shaded region is a parallelogram.
The formula for the area of any parallelogram is

.
The base of the parallelogram is 2 meters long (given).
The height of the parallelogram is 9 meters (do not be fooled by the unnecessary information of 14 meters)
The height is 9 meters because the height has to be perpendicular to the base. Thus, the side length must be 9 meters.
Multiply them together.

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.
