Not much can be done without knowing what

is, but at the least we can set up the integral.
First parameterize the pieces of the contour:


where

and

. You have


and so the work is given by the integral


Sum of the first two is:
-3x+5+7-4x = -7x+12
That subtracted from 5x+17:
5x+17-(-7x+12) = 12x+5
Answer:
I know for a fact that x is 4.3 so that means 4.2 is less than x and 4.4 is greater than x
here are the steps whether you like it or not
step:1 4.1^2+1.3^2=18.5
step:2 √18.5=4.3
Side a can be broken into to rectangles having areas:
(12-8)*4 and 8*12 so the area of side A is
A=16+96
A=112cm^2
