This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
2.3 is the other length
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
12x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
ok so a rectangle has 4 sides, 2 of which are called lengths, and 2 of which are widths.
length = 2x-3
width = 4x+5
the perimenter is the total of the 4 sides.
2(2x-3) = 4x-6 (the total for lengths)
2(4x+5) = 8x+10 (the total for widths)
add the 2 together:
12x+4
It is 8y4 becuze 8*2=64 and 4*2=16 and u *2 becuze *2 means square root sorry if I'm wrong :)
