Answer:
25 unit
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for the missing figure.
Assuming the complete question is:
Side UY = 4z-1
Side UV = 5z+3
Perimeter of rectangle is given by:
2UY+2UV=P
2(4z-1)+2(5z+3)=84
8z-2+10z+6=84
18z+4=84
18z = 84 -4 =>
18z = 80
z= 4.45 unit
Side UV = 5z+3 => 5(4.45) + 3
Side UV ≈ 25 unit
SInce, Side UV = Side XY
Side XY≈ 25 unit
It's obviously none of the above because the true area will have a square root of 3 in it because of the equilateral triangle. They want us to find the approximate area. When I was in school the difference between an approximation and the exact answer was greatly stressed but that seems to be fading of late.
That's a rectangle less an equilateral triangle. The area of an equilateral triangle is which is easily derived but I won't bother here.
