Answer: 14s - 7s/2 = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that s is the length of the unknown side:
Area of the shaded region = 84
Area of rectangle - Area of triangle = 84
Area of rectangle = L * W
= 14 * s
= 14s
Area of triangle = ¹/₂ * base * height
= ¹/₂ * 14 * s/2
= 7s/2
Area of shaded region:
14s - 7s/2 = 84
Solving for s:
14s - 7s/2 = 84
28s - 7s = 168
21s = 168
s = 168/21
s = 8 inches
