Answer:
Tangent segment ? I think. I don't know for sure because of the way you wrote the question- I got a bit confused.
to find the area of a rectangle is LxW=A
plug in the given numbers you have
L = 7
W = x-8
A = 42
7 * x-8 = 42
7x-56= 42
solve for X
You gotta multiple the numbers so like 10 times 8 = 80 and 6 times 4 = 24
Answer:
500 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The hexagon is composed of two trapezoids (both of which are congruent). Let's find the area of the top trapezoid
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 10*(40+10)/2
A = 10*(50)/2
A = 500/2
A = 250
Each trapezoid has area of 250 square units. So the combined area is 2*250 = 500 square units.
