If you notice the picture below
the composite figure is just a trapezoid sitting on top of a rectangle
and then, the rectangle has a triangular hole in it
so.. get the area of the trapezoid
then get the area of the rectangle, which is just a 12x14
and then get the area of the triangle, which surely you know is 1/2 bh
then, subtract the triangle's area from the rectangle's area
and whatever is left, namely the difference, add that to the area of the trapezoid, and that's the composite's area
namely the area of the trapezoid plus the rectangle's, minus the triangle's

Answer:
One segment is 8.89 long and the other one is: 11.11 long
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side it intersects into two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.
In our case the bisector is generated on the angle opposite to the size 20 side (it is the smallest angle in the triangle since it is opposite to the smallest side). This bisector divides the side of length 20 into a segment of length x and a segment of length 20-x.
The proportionality indicated by the bisector theorem gives;
and we can solve for "x":
Then the other segment is: 20 - 8.89 = 11.11
