8. Find the area of the shaded region.

A. 5x2 – 11x + 16

B. 5x2 + 7x – 26

C. 5x2 + 11x – 12

D. 5x2 + 7x – 20

B. 5x2 + 7x – 26

Step-by-step explanation:  keeping in mind that the area of a rectangle is simply width * length, if we get the area of the larger rectangle, and then subtract the area of the smaller rectangle, we're in effect making a hole in the larger rectangle's area and thus what's leftover is the shaded area.

Area = 5x^2 +7x -26

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region can be found if you substruct the small rectangle from the big one. The area of any rectangle is calculated if you multiply width and height.

In other words:

A_small = (x-3)(x-6) = x^2-9x +18

A_big = (2x+2)(3x-4) = 6x^2 -2x -8

A_big - A_small = (6x^2 -2x -8) - (x^2-9x +18)

= 6x^2 -2x -8 - x^2 + 9x -18

= 5x^2 +7x -26

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
