The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width. Because we don't know either the length or the width we can't solve the problem...too many unknowns. BUT we do have some information that will help with this problem. We are told that the length is 2 feet longer than the width, so we can use that: L = W+2. Now we can make the substitution into the formula along with the value for the perimeter that was given to us: 36=2(W+2) + 2W, and 36 = 2W + 4 + 2W; 36 = 4W + 4; 32 = 4W and W = 8. Now go back to where you said that the length is 2 feet longer than the width. If the width is 8, then 8+2 = 10 for the length.

Which sequence of transformations will verify that EFGH and quadrilateral EFGH and quadrilateral E'F'G'H are congruent?

levacccp [35]

D) EFGH moved onto E'F'G'H after rotating 180 counterclockwise around the origin and the reflecting across the y-axis.

<h3>How to carry out transformations?</h3>

From online resources gotten about this question, for quadrilateral EFGH and quadrilateral E'F'G'H to be congruent, what we must do first is to rotate 180° counterclockwise around the origin and then move EFGH onto E'F'G'H'.

The last step to get this proof of congruency is to reflect across the y-axis.
