Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Answer:

$SA= 720 m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x=\sqrt{5^2+12^2}=13m$

$AS=2*1/2*12+12*22+5*22+13*22$

$= 60+264+110+13*22$

$AS= 720m^2$

If triangles AMN and ABC are similar, then

AM/AB = AN/AC

AM/(AM + MB) = AN/(AN + NC)

Check if this is true:

AM/AB = 21/(21 + 9) = 21/30 = 7/10

AN/AC = 14/(14 + 6) = 14/20 = 7/10

The angle at vertex A is common to both of the triangles.

Then by the side-angle-side (SAS) similarity theorem, the triangles are indeed similar.
