You have to divide the shape into simpler shapes such as rectangles and triangles that you can easily find the area of. Then, add those areas together. I divided it into one rectangle and three triangles.

Rectangle 1: length=7 width=6 6(7)=42

Triangle 1: base=6 height=2 1/2(6)2=6

Triangle 2: base=3 height=2 1/2(3)2=3

Triangle 3: base=6 height=1 1/2(6)1=3

Area= R1+T1+T2+T3= 42+6+3+3= 54 units squared

The triangles below are similar. Find x showing the proportion and all work.

zavuch27 [327]

we are given that

two triangles are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be same

we get

$\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{x+2}$

now, we can solve for x

step-1: Cross multiply both sides

$2(x+2) =6x$

step-2: Simplify left side

$2x +4 =6x$

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x

$2x +4-2x =6x-2x$

$4 =4x$

step-4: Divide both sides by 4

$x=1$

so,

$x=1$ ............Answer
