This triangle has one side that lies on an extended line segment. Based on this triangle, what statement about x is true?

x = 27 because 180−109−44=27

x = 65 because 109−44=65 and 44 + 65 = 109

x = 71 because 180−109=71

x = 153 because 109 + 44 = 153 and 153−44=109

65°

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 180 - 44 - (180-109) = 109 - 44 = 65°

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

a.)the line for function b is steeper
