Question

Solve for x. Calculate the area

Answer 1

32 sq inches

Explanation:

• Hope that given shape is a rectangle.
• Measures of the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal
• -> x/2 = 8
• ->x = 8*2
• -> x = 16 inches
• -> x/4 = 16/4 = 4 inches
• A (rectangle) = 8*4 = 32 sq inches

Answer 2

The value of x is 32/3 inches.

To solve for x, we need to use the given information about the sides of the figure ABCD. We are given that side AB is 8 inches, side CD is (x/2) inches, and side AD is (x/4) inches.

Since we know that AB = CD + AD in a square, we can set up the equation 8 = (x/2) + (x/4) and solve for x.

First, we can simplify the equation: 8 = (2x + x) / 4.

This simplifies to 8 = 3x / 4.

Cross-multiplying gives us 32 = 3x, and solving for x, we get x = 32/3 inches.

Therefore, the value of x is 32/3 inches.
