The sides are 2x, 3x-5 and 4x+2
perimiter is the sum of the sides

a.
2x+3x-5+4x+2=63 is an equation

b.
solve
group like terms
2x+3x+4x-5+2=65
add like terms
9x-3=65
add 3 to both sides
9x=68
divide both sides by 9
x=68/9


2x=2(68/9)=136/9 in
3x-5=3(68/9)-5=(68/3)-5=(68/3)-(15/3)=53/3
4x+2=4(68/9)+2=272/9+2=272/9+18/2=290/9

the side lengths are 136/9in, 53/3in, and 290/9in

Which theorem would you use to prove ABE ~ DCE?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Answer: Choice C) AA similarity

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are given that angle ABE = angle ECD since they are both right angles (square marker)

Angle AEB = angle CED as they are vertical angles

we have two pairs of congruent angles, leading us to be able to use the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem

Identify the graph described by the function p(x)=x/10 for x=1,2,3,4
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Graph A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)= x/10

x= 1, 2, 3, 4

Plug in x  values in p(x)

when x=1 , then P(1) = 1/10

When x=2 , then P(2) = 2/10

When x=3 , then P(3) = 3/10

When x=4 , then P(4) = 4/10

In the graph y axis has 2/10 , 4/10 , 6/10...

1/10 lies between 0  and 2/10

3/10 lies between 2/10 and 4/10

Graph A is correct
