\bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\
A=lw\quad 
\begin{cases}
l=length\\
w=width\\
-----\\
A=285
\end{cases}\implies 285=lw\implies \boxed{\cfrac{285}{w}=l}
\\\\\\
\textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\
P=2(l+w)\quad 
\begin{cases}
l=\frac{285}{w}\\\\
P=68
\end{cases}\implies 68=2\left( \boxed{\cfrac{285}{w}}+w \right)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{68}{2}=\cfrac{285}{w}+w\implies 34=\cfrac{285+w^2}{w}\implies 34w=285+w^2

\bf 0=w^2-34w+285\implies 0=(w-19)(w-15)\implies w=
\begin{cases}
19\\
15
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{lenght}{l}=
\begin{cases}
\frac{285}{19}\implies &15\\\\
\frac{285}{15}\implies &19
\end{cases}

How to know if an angle is congruent?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure. If you didn't already know, when two lines intersect the vertical angles formed are congruent. For example, all the angles in a square are congruent. All the angles in a regular pentagon are 108°, therefore all the angles are congruent because they are the same.

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps:).........if not sorry:(

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two x angles on the right are supplementary which means they add up to 180 degrees

5x + 12 + 7x - 24 = 180

12x - 12 = 180

12x = 192

x = 192/12

x = 18

5x + 12 and y are corresponding angles and are therefore equal

5(18) + 12 = 90 + 12 = 102

Therefore y = 102
