Answer: P = 166 units
Step-by-step explanation: Each point on the triangle has lines that are tangent to the circle in the triangle, meaning that those lines form a 90° angle to the middle point in the circle. There is also a rule that states if there are tangent lines coming from the points and if the points have at least one given side length, the other side will have the same side length. So if one side on point D is 41, then the other side connected to the point is 41. I added up all of the side lengths; 41 + 41 + 30 + 30 + 12 +12 = 166 units.
I hope this helps!
<h3>Answer: 297 square cm</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
Break up the figure as shown in the diagram below.
A rectangle and trapezoid form
-------------
Area of rectangle = base*height = 9*15 = 135 cm^2
Area of trapezoid = (1/2)*(b1+b2)*h = (1/2)*(18+9)*12 = 162 cm^2
total area = (area of rectangle)+(area of trapezoid)
total area = (135) + (162)
total area = 297 square cm
