the shorter sides are 4 inches and the longer sides are 21 inches long
Answer:
x = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we see that sides AD and DC are equal, as well as sides BE and EC, we can use this information to conclude that the value of 2x-7 is equal to double the value of DE.
2x - 7 = 4(2)
2x - 7 = 8
2x - 7 + 7 = 8 + 7
2x = 15
x = 7.5
88=4*22=> sqrt88=2sqrt22
sqrt22 is approximately sqrt25=5
so 4 < sqrt22 < 5
8 < 2sqrt22 < 10
8 < sqrt88 < 10
