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.
Answer:
The answer is


Step-by-step explanation:
We must find a solution where

Consider the Left Side:
First, to add fraction multiply each fraction on the left by it corresponding denomiator and we should get

Which equals

Add the fractions

Simplify the right side by multiplying the fraction

Set both fractions equal to each other

Since the denomiator are equal, we must set the numerator equal to each other





The triangles are congruent by SAS, so the two angles with 7x and 3x+16 are equal. So
7x=3x+16
4x=16
x=4
So KJL=7(4)=28.
Use the Pythagorean theorem.
If x is a hypotenuse, then we have:

If x is a leg, then we have:

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle is
baseline × height / 2
the baseline (where the height hits at a 90° angle) is 4 m.
the height is 3.7 m.
so, the area is
4 × 3.7 / 2 = 2 × 3.7 = 7.4 m²
