Answer:
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the segments proportionally. This means they satisfy ...
bottom segment / side segment = x/6 = (6-x)/4
Multiplying by 12 gives ...
2x = 3(6 -x)
2x = 18 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x = 18 . . . . . . . . add 3x
x = 3.6 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
I like to try to work these mentally. The total of side lengths is 10, so the total base length (6) is 6/10 = 0.6 times that. Then x will be 0.6 times the left side length: 0.6·6 = 3.6 = x.
A = 3,953 in²
You find the area of the whole triangle:
1/2bh = 1/2(63+31)(63+62) = 5875
Then subtract the missing rectangle:
lw = (62)(31) = 1922
5875 - 1922 = 3953 inches
Since you're multiplying inches by inches, it's inches².

Answer:
22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y=kx
20=k15
k=1•33
30=1•33x
x=22•5
Area of a triangle is given by 1/2bh where b is the base and h is the perpendicular height of the triangle.
The area is 80x∧5y³ and the height is x∧4y
Thus; 80x∧5y³ = 1/2(x∧4y) b
160x∧5y³ = (x∧4y)b
b = (160x∧5y³)/ x∧4y)
b = 160xy²
Therefore, the base of the triangle is 160xy²
