Answer:

x = 17

Area = 10,362units²

Step-by-step explanation

Given the sides of the triangle

S1 = 9x+4

s2 = 8x-4

S3 = 4x+17

Perimeter of the triangle is the sum of all the sides

P = S1+S2+S3

374 = 9x+4+8x-4+4x+17

374 = 21x+17

21x = 374-17

21x = 357

x = 357/21

x = 17

Hence the value of x is 17

Area of the triangle is 1/2bh

A = 1/2bh

b is the base

h is the height

Let the base be 9x + 4 and height be 8x-4

b = 9x+4

b = 9(17)+4

b = 153+4

b = 157units

h = 8x-4

h =8(17)-4

h = 136-4

h = 132

Area = 1/2 * 157 * 132

Area = 157*66

Area = 10,362units²
