Step-by-step solution

3 steps

The problem asks us to find the area of the shaded region, which is △FTL\triangle FTL. We are given the height of the triangle, the length of segment FTFT, and the area of △TPL\triangle TPL.

  1. Identify the given information.

    The height of △TPL\triangle TPL and △FTL\triangle FTL is h=7 mh = 7 \text{ m}.
    The base of △TPL\triangle TPL is TP=(2x+4) mTP = (2x+4) \text{ m}.
    The area of △TPL\triangle TPL is 98 m298 \text{ m}^2.
    The base of the shaded region △FTL\triangle FTL is FT=8 mFT = 8 \text{ m}.

  2. Use the area of △TPL\triangle TPL to find the value of xx.

    The formula for the area of a triangle is 12×base×height\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}.

    Area of △TPL=12×TP×h\text{Area of } \triangle TPL = \frac{1}{2} \times TP \times h

    Substitute the given values:

    98=12×(2x+4)×798 = \frac{1}{2} \times (2x+4) \times 7 98=72(2x+4)98 = \frac{7}{2} (2x+4)

    Multiply both sides by 2:

    196=7(2x+4)196 = 7(2x+4)

    Divide both sides by 7:

    1967=2x+4\frac{196}{7} = 2x+4 28=2x+428 = 2x+4

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    28−4=2x28 - 4 = 2x 24=2x24 = 2x

    Divide by 2:

    x=242x = \frac{24}{2} x=12x = 12
  3. Calculate the area of the shaded region, △FTL\triangle FTL.

    The base of △FTL\triangle FTL is FT=8 mFT = 8 \text{ m}.
    The height of △FTL\triangle FTL is h=7 mh = 7 \text{ m}.

    Area of △FTL=12×FT×h\text{Area of } \triangle FTL = \frac{1}{2} \times FT \times h

    Substitute the values:

    Area of △FTL=12×8 m×7 m\text{Area of } \triangle FTL = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \text{ m} \times 7 \text{ m} Area of △FTL=4×7 m2\text{Area of } \triangle FTL = 4 \times 7 \text{ m}^2 Area of △FTL=28 m2\text{Area of } \triangle FTL = 28 \text{ m}^2

    The area of the shaded region is 28 m228 \text{ m}^2.
