Find the area of the shape.

7

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the area of the rectangle and then subtract the area of the triangle.

Area of a rectangle is bh = 4*2= 8

Area of a triangle is 1/2*bh = 1*2 = 2/2 = 1

8-1 = 7

a

step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
