This question is incomplete. Please find attached to this solved question, the diagram required to solve this question.

Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded portion of the rectangle forms the shape of a trapezium

The area of a trapezium = 1/2(a + b)h

From the diagram, we can see than x = b

a = 7 units

b = 7 units

Area of the trapezium = Area of the shaded portion = 63 square units

A = 1/2(a + b)h

63 = 1/2(7 + b)7

63 = 1/2(49 + 7b)

63 × 2 = 49 + 7b

126 - 49 = 7b

7b = 77

b = 77/7

b = 11 units

Since x = b, x = 11 units

The value of x is 11

Start by calculating the area (A) of the trapezoid using

[tex]A= 0.5 * (a + b)h[/tex]

Using the parameters from the complete question, we have:

[tex]63 = 0.5 * (7 + x) * 7[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex]126 = (7 + x) * 7[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7

[tex]18 = 7 + x[/tex]

Subtract 7 from both sides

[tex]x = 11[/tex]

Hence, the value of x is 11
