Question 1191078: In figure PQRS is a rectangle (https://studylib.net/doc/25517532/adv-ex-08-equations), refer to question 9 diagram except: 16cm is not given and x=BP. ABC is a triange in which AB=AC=12cm and angle of A is 90 degrees.
a) if BP=CQ+x cm, express PQ and PS in terms of x
b) hence or otherwise, show that area of PQRS is (12x-x^2)cm^2
c) if the area of PQRS is 32cm^2, find the values of x

Ridiculous. If BP = x, then BP can only be equal to CQ + x if CQ is zero.

Further, if ABC is an isosceles right triangle with legs that measure 12, the hypotenuse (BC) must measure and then

This whole thing is an unintelligible mess.
