I need help with this math question. What is the Area of this shape?

A=174

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Separate the figure into two separate shapes, a triangle and a square

Step 2: Find the dimensions of the triangle and square.

Square - l=12 w=12

Triangle - h=5, b=12. (The height was found by subtracting the length of the square (12) from the total length (17).

Step 3: Solve by using formulas

A=(5)(12)/2=30

A=12*12=144

Step 4: Add the parts together

144+30=174

A=174

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
