Triangle ABE is similar to triangle CED (AAA)
10/8 = (2x+6) / (x+6)
x=2
therefore AE = 2(2) + 6
= 10 units
Answer:
Area = 2x^2 + 14x + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
You could set up an expression (2x + 8) * (x + 3), where you multiply 2x by x, 2x by 3, 8 by x, 8 by 3, and then add them all up. 2x * x = 2x^2, 2x * 3 = 6x, 8 * x = 8x, and 8 * 3 = 24. 2x^2 + 6x + 8x + 24 = 2x^2 + 14x + 24, so that is your answer.
(X+1)(x^2+2) is the answer.
