What is the length of the missing side? what is the area of the figure? show all work.

Missing side=25 units.

Area of the figure= 470 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.

To get the base of the triangle, we find the difference between the two parallel sides, that is, 16ft and 31 ft.

31ft-16ft=15ft  

The height of the triangle is 20 since it is parallel and equal to the length of the rectangle.

We therefore use pythagoras theorem to find ?

a²+b²=c²

15²+20²=c²

625=c²

c=25

ii. The figure is a trapezium therefore we use the following formula to find the area.

A= 1/2(a+b)h, where a and b are the two parallel sides. and h the distance between them.

=(1/2)(31+16)×20

=470 sq units

11 feet 6 inches and 8 feet 6 inches

y=1/4x-4
