Geometry The figure shown is composed of a triangle and a rectangle.

a. Write and simplify an expression in terms of x for the area of the figure.

b. What is the value of x if the area of the figure is 154 square feet?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Area of given figure =11x

b. Value of x=14

Step by step solution

01

a.Step-1- Finding area of triangle

From given figure, we can say that,

Length of rectangle =l=xft.

Breadth of rectangle =b=8ft.

Base of triangle =base =x.

Height of triangle =h=6ft.

We know that,

Area of triangle =12×base×h

On substituting values, we get

⇒ Area of triangle =12×x×6

⇒ Area of triangle =3x.

02

Step-2- Find the area of rectangle

We know that,

Area of rectangle =l×b

On substituting values, we get

⇒ Area of rectangle =x×8

⇒ Area of rectangle =8x.

03

Step-3- Find the area of figure

Total area of given figure =Area of triangle +Area of rectangle

On substituting values, we get

⇒ Total area of given figure =3x+8x

⇒ Total area of given figure =11x

Total area of the figure in terms of x is 11xsquarefeet.

04

b.Step-1- Find the side of a rectangle 

From above part, we got that,

Total area =11x.

05

Step-2- Substitute the value of total area

On substituting values, we get

154=11x.

06

Step-3- Solve above equation for x

Dividing with 11on both sides We get

15411=11x11x=15411x=14

x=14.

Therefore, the value of x=14feet.
