Answer:
The sum of all the sides to this quadrilateral will equal a total of 20 inches, so you set up the equation:
2 + 2x + 7 + x + 2 = 20
Solve for x by combining like terms;
(2 + 7 + 2) + (2x + x) = 20
Which simplifies to;
11 + 3x = 20
Get rid of constants;
-11 -11
3x = 9
Isolate x by getting rid of it's coefficient;
/3 /3
<u>x = 3</u>
Now, to find the length of PQ, we plug in the value of x(3) into the equation that contains the line PQ.
x + 2
<u>3</u> + 2
= <u>5 inches.</u>
Now, to find the length of RS, we plug in the value of x(3) into the equation that contains the line RS.
2x
2(3)
= <u>6 inches.</u>
If we know that two sets of corresponding angles and the corresponding included sides are congruent in two triangles, what can we say about the triangles?
To kilos? About 132.2. To dollars? Google the exchange.
It is a cubic function.
