We know the CE = 10x + 18 and DE = 7x - 1 and D is the midpoint of CE

⇒ CE = 2 * DE

⇒ 10x + 18 = 2 * (7x - 1)

⇒ 10x + 18 = 14x - 2

⇒ -4x = -20

⇒ x = 5

Now we also know that BC = 9x - 3 and AC = CE = 10x + 18

⇒ AB = AC - BC

⇒ AB = 10x + 18 - (9x - 3)

⇒ AB = x + 21

Substituting the value of x,

⇒ AB = 5 + 21

⇒ AB = 26

Hence, the value of AB is 26 units.

You essentially have four triangles.  The area of a triangle is:  A=bh/2  (b=base length and h=height)

So the area is simply the sum of the four triangle areas...

A=(3*2)/2+(3*2)/2+(7*2)/2+(7*2)/2

A=20 ft^2

It makes the addition easier if you combine like terms like the two 1/2s and then make them all have the denominator of 12 (changing the numerators to equal it out)

Explanation:

Consider ...

  x/a = b/c . . . . . find x

Multiplying by the denominator under x gives ...

  x = ab/c . . . . the value of the unknown.

____

In the case where the unknown is in the denominator, you can invert the ratios and solve as above:

  a/x = c/b . . . . . note that x is in the denominator

  x/a = b/c . . . . . equivalent equation, solve as above
