Let us recall parallelogram properties, which states that opposite angles of parallelogram are congruent.
We can see from graph that side US is parallel to TR and measure of angle U equals to measure of angle R, therefore, quadrilateral drawn in our given graph is a parallelogram.
Since we know that opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent. In our parallelogram UT=SR and US=TR.
In our triangle STU and triangle TSR side TS=TS by reflexive property of congruence.
Therefore, our triangles are congruent by SSS congruence.
You could add them on a number line or count on your fingers.
Problem 23
A = 40
B = 3x+1
C = 3x+1
B and C are congruent, so they have the same angle measure
The three angles of any triangle add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
40+(3x+1)+(3x+1) = 180
6x+42 = 180
6x = 180-42
6x = 138
x = 138/6
x = 23
Answer: B) 23

Problem 24
AB is the midsegment parallel to XY
So AB is half that of XY
AB = (1/2)*XY
AB = (1/2)*28
AB = 14
Answer: B) 14

Problem 25
Note the ratio of the given rectangle's sides: 7/12 = 0.583 roughly
Divide the answer choices in a similar fashion
A) 5/7 = 0.714
B) 14/36 = 0.389
C) 21/36 = 0.583
D) 21/48 = 0.4375
We get the same result in choice C as we did in the original rectangle
Answer: C) 21 ft x 36 ft
Answer: The value of x is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The slope of line t is -4/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(14-10)/(2-7)
m=4/-5
Parallel lines have same slopes.
