Find the Area ( PLEASE LEAVE EXPLANATION)

28 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

To solve for the area of an irregular shape we want to split the irregular shape into regular shapes

For this irregular shape we would split it into a square with a side length of 2ft and a rectangle with a length of 6ft and a width of 4ft ( width was found subtracting total height of irregular figure (6ft) from height of square (2ft) 6ft - 2ft = 4ft so the width would be 4ft)

now we can easily solve for the area of each individual shape

area of square -

the area of a square can simply be found by raising the side length to the power of 2

so

so we can conclude that the area of the square is 4ft^2

Now we want to find the area of the rectangle

the area of a rectangle is simply equal to the width times the length

so

so we can conclude that the area of the rectangle is 24ft^2

Finally we add the two areas together

24 + 4 = 28

thus meaning the area of the irregular figure is 28 ft²

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°

it is x=-4
