Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.

Set the proportions 20/(3x+8)=(x-1)/(x-1+27)

solve for x,

cross multiply

20(x+26)=(x-1)(3x+8),

distribute

20x+520= 3x² +8x-3x-8,

combine like terms

3x²-15x-528=0

solve using quadratic formula

x=16 and x= -11 reject because we cannot have negative measurements

The answer is 48m² because 48 times 2 is 96. Not 96m² because that would be 96 times 2 And wayyy too much. You do 6 times four which is 24 then 24 times four because it is separated into four quadrants & that would equal 96m & half of 96 is 48
