Answer:

A) 2695.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angels of a parallelogram are equal.

Also (x - y) = 42 (interior alternate angles)

So we have the system of equations:

x + y = 112

x - y = 42 Adding the 2 equations:

2x = 154

x = 77.

Plug x = 77 in the first equation:

77 + y = 112

y = 112 - 77 = 35.

and

xy = 77 * 35 = 2695.

How can you analyze connections between linear equations and use them to solve problems

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the more obvious "connections" between linear equations is the presence of the same two variables (e. g., x and y) in these equations.

Assuming that your two equations are distinct (neither is merely a multiple of the other), we can use the "elimination by addition and subtraction" method to eliminate one variable, leaving us with an equation in one variable, solve this 1-variable (e. g., in x) equation, and then use the resulting value in the other equation to find the value of the other variable (e. g., y). By doing this we find a unique solution (a, b) that satisfies both original equations. Not only that, but also this solution (a, b) will also satisfy both of the original linear equations.

I urge you to think about what you mean by "analyze connections."

Can you help me find the perimeter

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = (2*width) + (2*height)

this is basically saying, since opposite sides are equal in a rectangle,

Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 6 + 6, so P = 22ft
