rationalizing the numerator, or namely, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the top".
we simply multiply top and bottom by a value that will take out the radicand in the numerator.

42 inches squared
base times height divided by two
7x12 divided by two is 42
The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°, so m∠K = 180° -45° -30° = 105°.
The Law of Sines tells you
... FL/sin(∠K) = FK/sin(∠L)
Solving for FL, we get
... FL = FK·sin(∠K)/sin(∠L)
... FL = a·sin(105°)/sin(30°) = a·sin(105°)/(1/2)
... FL = 2a·sin(105°) ≈ 1.93185a
The area of a parallelogram is:
A = b * h
Where,
b: base
h: height
Clearing the base we have:
b = A / h
Substituting values we have:
b = (6x2 + x + 3) / 3x
Rewriting we have:
b = 2x + 1 / x + 1/3
Answer:
the length of the base is:
b = 2x + 1 / x + 1/3
s = 2(lw + lh + wh)
Divide each side by 2 : s/2 = lw + lh + wh
Subtract 'lh' from each side: s/2 - lh = lw + wh
Combine the 'w' terms: s/2 - lh = w(l + h)
Divide each side by (l + h): (s/2 - lh) / (l + h) = w
