Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle theorem states that the measure of each exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite and non-adjacent interior angles. The two non-adjacent interior angles opposite the exterior angle are sometimes referred to as remote interior angles.

In the given problem, the exterior angle is < JUV, and its corresponding remote interior angles are < V and < W.

Establish the following equation according to the exterior angle theorem:

< V + < W = < JUV

88° + (5x + 1)° = (14x - 1)°

Solve for x algebraically:

88° + 5x + 1 = 14x - 1

89 + 5x = 14x - 1

89 + 1 + 5x = 14x - 1 + 1

90 + 5x = 14x

90 + 5x - 5x = 14x - 5x

90 = 9x

90/9 = 9x/9

10 = x

Therefore, the value of x = 10.

Answer:

$A=(72+36\sqrt{3})\ mm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

Let

a ----> the height of rectangle in mm

b ---> the base of rectangle in mm

step 1

Find the base of rectangle

$b=AB+BC+CD+DE$ ----> by segment addition postulate

substitute

$b=3+3+3+3=12\ mm$

step 2

Find the height of rectangle

$a=FB+CG+GH$ ---> by segment addition postulate

substitute the given values

$a=3+CG+3\\a=6+CG$

Find the length sides CG

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BG^2=BC^2+CG^2$

substitute the given values

$6^2=3^2+CG^2$

$CG^2=6^2-3^2$

$CG=\sqrt{27}\ mm$

simplify

$CG=3\sqrt{3}\ mm$

therefore

$a=(6+3\sqrt{3})\ mm$

step 3

Find the area of rectangle

$A=ab$

we have

$a=(6+3\sqrt{3})\ mm$

$b=12\ mm$

substitute

$A=(6+3\sqrt{3})(12)=(72+36\sqrt{3})\ mm^2$
