Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>

Find the area of the composite figure and round the nearest tenth
Monica [59]

Answer:

The area of the composite figure is 1360 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should split up the composite figure into separate shapes.

So to find area of the triangle all the way on the left, you multiply base x height then divide by 2.

<u>30 x 34 = 1020 ÷ 2 = 520.</u>

Then, moving on to next shape, we can break up the trapezoid into a rectangle and a triangle.

To find area of the rectangle you multiply length x width.

<u>16 x 30 = 480.</u>

Finally, we have the last triangle right above the rectangle. Keep in mind that the rectangle does not have a length of 40!

You have to subtract 40 - 16 which equals 24.

<u>30 x 24 = 720 ÷ 2 = 360.</u>

Now that we have all 3 numbers, we simply add them all together and you will get an answer of 1360 ft.

Remember to label your answer!
