A square has 4 sides of equal legnths
in your point of view, it looks tilted because it is actually a rhombus, a paralellogram (4 sided figure with 2 pairs of paralell sides) with 4 equal sides
to find the area, just multiply base by height (look at ilustration/attachmtns)

Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 3) = 8x
12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )
4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 9
