Answer:
28 united squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us pretend this is a regular rectangle.
The area would be 32, however the bottom is cut off.
If we draw it in, we can see the base and height are 2 and 4 respectively.
We can then calculate this triangle which is (4*2)/2 = 4
We then subtract this from the rectangle of size 32, resulting in 28 units squared

x=12
tangent forms 90° with the touch point at circle
(x+8)^2 = 256+x^2
x^2 + 16x + 64 = 256 + x^2
16x = 192
x= 12
