I got area=41.7 m
Step by step:
Find A; 6x4 =24
Find B; you have to subtract 2 from 3.8 to find the length of the dashed line. 1.8x3.5=6.3
Find C; 3.8x3=11.4.
Add together; 11.4+6.3+27=41.7
(x+1)(x-5)= 2^4=16
x^2 -4x -5 =16
x^2-4x-21=0
x= -3 or 7
but we would choose 7 as the answer as -3 gives negative value at (x+1) and we know that log of negative number is not defined.
It has not been indicated whether the figure in the questions is a triangle or a quadrilateral. Irrespective of the shape, this can be solved. The two possible shapes and angles have been indicated in the attached image.
Now, from the information given we can infer that there is a line BD that cuts angle ABC in two parts: angle ABD and angle DBC
⇒ Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Also, we know that angle ABC is 1 degree less than 3 times the angle ABD, and that angle DBC is 47 degree
Let angle ABD be x
⇒ Angle ABC = 3x-1
Also, Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Substituting the values in the above equations
⇒ 3x-1 = x+47
⇒ 2x = 48
⇒ x = 24
So angle ABD = 24 degree, and angle ABC = 3(24)-1 = 71-1 = 71 degree
Answer:
If k = −1 then the system has no solutions.
If k = 2 then the system has infinitely many solutions.
The system cannot have unique solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following system of equations

The augmented matrix is
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\1&1&1&k\\2&-1&4&k^2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C1%261%261%26k%5C%5C2%26-1%264%26k%5E2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The reduction of this matrix to row-echelon form is outlined below.

![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&k-2\\2&-1&4&k^2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C0%263%26-2%26k-2%5C%5C2%26-1%264%26k%5E2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&k-2\\0&3&-2&k^2-4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C0%263%26-2%26k-2%5C%5C0%263%26-2%26k%5E2-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&k-2\\0&0&0&k^2-k-2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C0%263%26-2%26k-2%5C%5C0%260%260%26k%5E2-k-2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The last row determines, if there are solutions or not. To be consistent, we must have k such that


Case k = −1:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&-1-2\\0&0&0&(-1)^2-(-1)-2\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&-3\\0&0&0&-2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C0%263%26-2%26-1-2%5C%5C0%260%260%26%28-1%29%5E2-%28-1%29-2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Crightarrow%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C0%263%26-2%26-3%5C%5C0%260%260%26-2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
If k = −1 then the last equation becomes 0 = −2 which is impossible.Therefore, the system has no solutions.
Case k = 2:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&2-2\\0&0&0&(2)^2-(2)-2\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&0\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C0%263%26-2%262-2%5C%5C0%260%260%26%282%29%5E2-%282%29-2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Crightarrow%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%26-2%263%262%5C%5C0%263%26-2%260%5C%5C0%260%260%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This gives the infinite many solution.
