Find the area of this irregular figure. All angles are right angles. 128 in2 296 in2 256 in2 80 in2

256in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Just add the area the two Rectangals = A=128*2 = 256in² or calclute the whole and deduct the 2 missing sqares 16

384-128=256in²

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
