To find the area Molly needs to paint, she should add the surface areas of both solids and subtract: twice the area of the triangle twice the area of the square
three times the area of the square
the area of the square
which one should I pick

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
