CRITICAL THINKING The total area of the polygon is 176 square feet. What is the value of $x$ ?

Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
this figure involves two triangle and one rectangle
for area of rectangle= Length * Width = 16 * 8 = 128 feet^2
for area of one triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * x *8 = 4x
for two triangles = 8x ft^2 total
whole area = two triangles + one rectangle
176 = 8x + 128
8x =48
x = 6
