Question
The base of an electric iron can be modelled as a pentagon ABCDE, where:
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} {{\text{BCDE is a rectangle with sides of length }}(x + 3){\text{ cm and }}(x + 5){\text{ cm;}}} \\ {{\text{ABE is an isosceles triangle, with AB}} = {\text{AE and a height of }}x{\text{ cm;}}} \\ {{\text{the area of ABCDE is 222 c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{.}}} \end{array}\]
Insulation tape is wrapped around the perimeter of the base of the iron, ABCDE.
F is the point on AB such that \({\text{BF}} = {\text{8 cm}}\). A heating element in the iron runs in a straight line, from C to F.
Write down an equation for the area of ABCDE using the above information.
Show that the equation in part (a)(i) simplifies to \(3{x^2} + 19x - 414 = 0\).
Find the length of CD.
Show that angle \({\rm{B\hat AE}} = 67.4^\circ \), correct to one decimal place.
Find the length of the perimeter of ABCDE.
Calculate the length of CF.
