Solution

To help you solve this problem, let’s analyze each part and fill in the blanks with calculations based on the image.

1. Area of the Two Small Triangles:

Each small triangle has a base and height of x+3x + 3.

The area of a single triangle is calculated using: A=base×height2A = \frac{\text{base} \times \text{height}}{2} Thus, the area of one triangle is: A=(x+3)(x+3)2A = \frac{(x+3)(x+3)}{2} The area of two such triangles would be: Atwo triangles=2×(x+3)(x+3)2=(x+3)2A_{\text{two triangles}} = 2 \times \frac{(x+3)(x+3)}{2} = (x+3)^2

2. Area of the Square:

The side of the square is also x+3x + 3, so the area of the square is: Asquare=(x+3)(x+3)=(x+3)2A_{\text{square}} = (x+3)(x+3) = (x+3)^2

3. Area of the Large Triangle:

The large triangle has a base of 2x+62x + 6 and a height of 2x+62x + 6.

Using the area formula for a triangle: Alarge triangle=base×height2=(2x+6)(2x+6)2A_{\text{large triangle}} = \frac{\text{base} \times \text{height}}{2} = \frac{(2x+6)(2x+6)}{2}

Summary of Areas

  • Area of Two Small Triangles: (x+3)2(x+3)^2
  • Area of the Square: (x+3)2(x+3)^2
  • Area of the Large Triangle: (2x+6)22\frac{(2x+6)^2}{2}

Would you like to proceed with further simplification or verification of these areas?


Here are five related questions to further explore:

  1. How can we simplify (x+3)2(x+3)^2 to get a clearer expression?
  2. What is the expanded form of (2x+6)2(2x+6)^2 to fully simplify the area of the large triangle?
  3. Can we use these area expressions to find a relationship between xx and the areas?
  4. What happens to the area of each shape if xx is doubled?
  5. How do these formulas change if the base and height are not equal?

Tip: When dealing with expressions like (a+b)2(a + b)^2, remember to expand them as a2+2ab+b2a^2 + 2ab + b^2 to simplify calculations.
