What is the length of the missing side? what is the area of the figure? show all work.

Missing side=25 units.

Area of the figure= 470 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.

To get the base of the triangle, we find the difference between the two parallel sides, that is, 16ft and 31 ft.

31ft-16ft=15ft  

The height of the triangle is 20 since it is parallel and equal to the length of the rectangle.

We therefore use pythagoras theorem to find ?

a²+b²=c²

15²+20²=c²

625=c²

c=25

ii. The figure is a trapezium therefore we use the following formula to find the area.

A= 1/2(a+b)h, where a and b are the two parallel sides. and h the distance between them.

=(1/2)(31+16)×20

=470 sq units

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°
