The width of rectangle is 5 feet.

Let us assume the length of rectangle to be x. So, the width of rectangle will be (x - 3).

Now, as per the known fact, perimeter, length and width of rectangle are related by the formula -

Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)

Keep the values in formula to find the value of width

26 = 2 × (x + x - 3)

Performing addition of variables inside the bracket

26 = 2 × (2x - 3)

Shifting 2 to other side of equation to find the value of x

2x - 3 = \frac{26}{2}

Performing division to find the value of x

2x - 3 = 13

Shifting 3 to other side of equation to find the value of x

2x = 13 + 3

Performing addition to find the value of x

2x = 16

Shifting 2 as denominator to other side of equation to find the value of x

x = \frac{16}{2}

Performing division to find the value of x

x = 8

So, length of rectangle is 8 feet

Width of rectangle = x - 3

Width of rectangle = 8 - 3

Width of rectangle = 5 feet

Hence, the width of rectangle is 5 feet.

I don’t even know what these are called, please explain what they are and how they work
daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice the two horinzontal lines. They are parallel lines as they will never cross each other.

Notice the slant line. That is called a transversal as it crosses through both the parallel lines.

The transversal split the parallel lines into multiple angles.

  • Vertical Angles
  • Alternate Interior Angles
  • Alternate Exterior Angles
  • Corresponding Angles
  • Linear Pair Angles
  • Same Side Consecutive Angles

Look at Angle X and the angle on the upper right. They are vertical angles because they are formed by intersecting lines so they are equal to each other

Look at Angle X and the angle that is on the right of Angle 70, they are alternate interior angles as they are formed by the transversal crossing through the two parallel lines. They are equal to each other. They form a Z if you connect a them.

The upper right angle and bottom left angle are alternate exterior angles. They are formed by the transversal. They are equal to each other. They form a semi circle of you connect them.

The bottom left angle and Angle X are Corresponding Angles. They form a C shape if you connect them. They are formed by the transversal and are congruent to each other.

Angle X and 70 are same side consecutive angles. They are right next to each other on the same side of each other. They are supplementary. which means they form 180 degrees when added.

so using this info,

x + 70 = 180

x = 110

In rectangle ABCD, point L lies on diagonal
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

  ab/(a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Without loss of generality, we can put point C at the origin and define line BD by the equation ...

  x/a +y/b = 1

Points (x, y) fall on the line BD, and we have point L where x=y. That value of x, the square's side length, will satisfy ...

  x/a +x/b = 1 . . . . . fill in x=y in the equation

  x(a+b)/ab = 1 . . . .factor out x, add 1/a+1/b

  x = ab/(a+b) . . . . solve for x

The length of the side of the square is ab/(a+b).
