Answer:
A. 32
Step-by-Step Explanation:
∠QRP = 32
if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent.
∠QRP ∠QPR
Substitute ∠QPR 32° into ∠QRP : ∠QRP 32°
The shaded region is a parallelogram.
The formula for the area of any parallelogram is

.
The base of the parallelogram is 2 meters long (given).
The height of the parallelogram is 9 meters (do not be fooled by the unnecessary information of 14 meters)
The height is 9 meters because the height has to be perpendicular to the base. Thus, the side length must be 9 meters.
Multiply them together.

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Using the trigonometric identity
sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ sin²x = 1 - cos²x
Given
sin²x + 7cosx + 17
=1 - cos²x + 7cosx + 17
= - cos²x + 7cosx + 18 ← factor out - 1 from each term
= - (cos²x - 7cosx - 18)
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the cosx term (- 7)
The factors are - 9 and + 2, thus
= - (cosx - 9)(cosx + 2) ← in factored form
