  31 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the shape into pieces several ways. The total area will be the sum of the areas of the pieces.

If we draw a horizontal line across the figure 2 inches up from the bottom, the figure is divided into a triangle and two rectangles.

The triangle has a base of 8 -3-2 = 3 inches, and a height of 4 -2 = 2 inches. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(3 in)(2 in) = 3 in²

The rectangle below the line has a base of 8 inches and a height of 2 inches. Its area is ...

  A = bh = (8 in)(2 in) = 16 in²

The rectangle above the line has a base of 3 inches and a height of 4 inches. Its area is ...

  A = bh = (3 in)(4 in) = 12 in²

Then the total area of the figure is ...

  (3 + 16 + 12) in² = 31 in² . . . . the area of the figure

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
