Answer:
168 meters squared
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that Jake walked from b to c and d meaning he didn't go from a to b, but we also know that scarlet walked a to b so to find the length we can subtract scarlet's walk by jake's walk or 38-31 which is 7.
So we know the length of one side is 7 so this means we have side a to b and c to d, but we still need to know b to c. So what we can do is get the length of a b c and d and isolate it so that we only have b to c. To do this we get the length of 7 and double it which is 14 and take it away from the 38m
38-14=24
so now we know that the side is 24 and we can solve for the area
24*7=168
so the answer is 168 meters squared
