(The size, shape and area of PAFEQ are the same as PBCDQ's.) They've reminded you of an area formula for triangles: Area = 1/2 × base × height They've given you the base expression. They've given you the height expression. To begin, can you substitute the base and height expressions into the area formula and simplify? Please show us your attempt. Thanks. PS: Confirm distance AB for us; it looks like 5x+6, but the image is fuzzy.
