To find the length x when the shaded area is 1200 cm², it's essential to have more information about the shape and dimensions of the area. Providing a diagram or additional details about the geometry involved would greatly aid in solving the problem. Many participants emphasize the importance of clear communication and visual aids in mathematical discussions. Without these specifics, it's challenging to arrive at a solution. Clarity in problem presentation is crucial for effective problem-solving.

It would help if we knew something about the shaded area!
 
It's amazing how many people don't understand the concept of posting or sketching a diagram.

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
