Answer: 210

Explanation:

Recall that the perimeter is the distance around the figure. It's the amount of fencing needed to enclose such a shape.

Add up all three sides and set the sum equal to the perimeter 70. Then solve for x.

side1+side2+side3 = perimeter

(3x)+(3x-1)+(4x+1) = 70

10x = 70

x = 70/10

x = 7

We can then calculate each side

  • horizontal leg = 3x = 3*7 = 21
  • vertical leg = 3x-1 = 3*7-1 = 21-1 = 20
  • hypotenuse = 4x+1 = 4*7+1 = 28+1 = 29

Notice how 21+20+29 = 70 to confirm we have the correct side lengths.

Once we know the horizontal and vertical leg (aka base and height), we can find the area.

Area = 0.5*base*height

Area = 0.5*21*20

Area = 210 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to find x . Then you can add them and equal them with triangle area.
