Answer 1

Answer:

53.33

Step-by-step explanation:

finding area of ΔPAM

using similar triangles

$\frac{4}{x}= \frac{12}{4}$

16 = 12x; x = $\frac{4}{3}$

ΔPAM = 4/3 * 4 * 1/2 = 16/6 = 8/3

ΔPAL = 4 * 12 * 1/2 = 24

24 + 8/3 = 80/3 (using fraction form for now, will round later)

since there are two ΔPLM (ΔLMU has same area since they are congruent)

we can multiply 80/3 by 2

80/3 * 2  = 160/3 = 53.33
