Question

The base of an electric iron can be modelled as a pentagon ABCDE, where:

\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} {{\text{BCDE is a rectangle with sides of length }}(x + 3){\text{ cm and }}(x + 5){\text{ cm;}}} \\ {{\text{ABE is an isosceles triangle, with AB}} = {\text{AE and a height of }}x{\text{ cm;}}} \\ {{\text{the area of ABCDE is 222 c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{.}}} \end{array}\]

M17/5/MATSD/SP2/ENG/TZ1/02

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.
