Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Area of trapezoid = Area of triangle + Area of square = 575 m²
- Area of triangle = 32.5 m²
- Area of square = s²
<u>Finding the area of the square:</u>
- 32.5 + Area of square = 575 m²
- => Area of square = 575 - 32.5
- => Area of square = 542.5
- => s² = 542.5
- => s = √542.5 ≈ 23.29
The length of the square is 23.29 meters.
You have to distribute the 4 to the numbers in the parenthesese. So 4 times 3x which is 12x and 4 times 5 which is 20 so now you get 12x plus 20 equals 8. Now you have to subtract 20 from 8 which is -12 so now you have 12x=-12 now divide the 12 from x and 12 from -12 and so now you have x=-1
