Area of the rectangle: 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture is missing: find it in attachment.

The area of a triangle is given by

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

where

b is the length of the base

h is the height

For triangle ABE, we know that

A = 40 (area)

h = 8 (height)

So we can find the length of the base AE:

AE=b=\frac{2A}{h}=\frac{2(40)}{8}=10

Now we observe that the base of the rectangle, AD, is the sum of AE and DE, therefore:

AD=AE+DE=10+4=14

We also know the height of the rectangle AB is 8, and that the area of a rectangle is

A=bh

where b is the base and h the height. Therefore, the area of this rectangle is

A=bh=(AD)(AB)=(14)(8)=112

You can rearrange f(x) as:

f(x) = 3(x^2 + 3x) + 12 = 3(x+1.5)^2 +5.25

So you can see the vertex is at (0,5.25) when x = -1.5

The axis of symmetry then lies in x = -1.5

lisov135 [29]
I'm not sure what side is missing but you could use the proportions

A/B=X/Y or B/C=Y/Z or CA/=ZX. it also works if you reverse this for example B/A=Y/X
